Favorite Articles Off The Beaten Path

Many of you could probably list the names of 50+ academic philosophy journals off the top of your head.

Yet there are a great many more philosophy journals than the ones we’ve all heard of, and there’s certainly some excellent philosophy published in them. The thing is, given prestige effects, our limited time, citation snobbery, and the snowballing of attention and neglect, we are not hearing about them as much as we should.

Some of these may be pieces that have since come to be well-known and widely anthologized, and whose obscure origins have themselves become obscured.
