History
It started as a publication of Academic Printing and Publishing in 1981 by its first editor and publisher, Roger Shiner, and changed its name 1997. In 2006 editorship of Philosophy in Review passed to Jeffrey Foss of the University of Victoria, in British Columbia, Canada, who was succeeded in 2007 by David Scott, also of the University of Victoria. In 2010 the University of Victoria replaced Academic Printing and Publishing as the publisher of Philosophy in Review. The formal association of Philosophy in Review with the Philosophy Department at the University of Victoria ended when Taneli Kukkonen, then of the University of Otago, became editor. He was succeeded by Neil Levy of the University of Melbourne and Robert Piercey of the University of Regina.
