Most authors are graduate students, but submissions by undergraduates are welcomed." [|Animus] "This Journal aims at an understanding of the works of Western civilization and contemporary views of these works. It seeks to promote a standpoint which is critical of dogmatic positions both within contemporary views and within the Western tradition itself." There's a lot of jargon involving reference to "post-philosophy", and "situating" things "at the present time"... I can't make it out myself, but I expect that, if you like that sort thing, it's the sort of thing you'll like. It can't be accessed by a text-based browser.

The journal publishes articles relating to philosophy construed in a broad but scholarly sense, without preference to any particular school or intellectual tradition. Each volume will appear in the month of November. As an electronic journal, Minerva provides swift publication and distribution, while reaction to published articles can be garnered with equal speed. Articles can be pre-published in Minerva and re-submitted for publication in the print journals. Alternatively, articles already published in the print journals can be offered for publication in Minerva. It is intended that the journal will foster debate by publishing considered replies to certain articles and providing a forum for scholarly discourse."
