The India Independent Philosophical Journal is a peer-reviewed scholarly periodical established in 2025. It is
dedicated to creating an open and inclusive platform for philosophical reflection, dialogue, and research
rooted in Indian as well as global traditions. The journal aims to revive the relevance of philosophical
thinking in the contemporary world while remaining grounded in classical wisdom.
Philosophy today must transcend disciplinary boundaries to address ethical, existential, technological,
environmental, and cultural challenges. This journal aspires to serve that need by promoting inquiry that is
rigorous, critical, comparative, and constructive.
