Call for Contributions – Preview of Vol. 5 No. 1 (2026)

The Journal of Neurophilosophy is pleased to announce that Volume 5, Issue 1 (2026) is currently in preparation under our free-to-read, free-to-publish open-access policy. The issue will be published in PDF format, ensuring immediate and unrestricted access to all contributions.

In keeping with our commitment to rapid scholarly exchange, all accepted manuscripts are published immediately as Early View PDFs, allowing authors to disseminate their work without delay and readers to engage with emerging ideas at the earliest stage.

The current preview already reflects the distinctive interdisciplinary scope of the journal, bringing together neuroscience, philosophy, consciousness studies, and theory-driven inquiry. Featured contributions include:

• Review Articles exploring consciousness, identity, dissociation, and free will at the intersection of neuroscience, philosophy, and society

• Opinion and Perspectives addressing the quantum, metaphysical, and technological limits of artificial consciousness

• Hypothesis and Theory papers revisiting foundational assumptions in cognitive science and philosophy of mind

• Original Articles offering bold interpretations of illuminating visions, cosmological neuroscience, and historical-neurophilosophical narratives

• Book Reviews engaging critically with contemporary works on consciousness and the formation of selfhood

Over the coming weeks, additional Full Text PDF articles will be added to the issue. We warmly invite researchers, philosophers, neuroscientists, and interdisciplinary scholars to submit their work and contribute to an intellectually vibrant and conceptually ambitious volume. Submissions are reviewed on a rolling basis and published online as Early View articles upon acceptance.

We look forward to your contributions and to collectively shaping a volume that advances neurophilosophical dialogue at the frontiers of mind, brain, and meaning.
