The journal publishes philosophical articles on legal, social, and political issues, but welcomes philosophically inclined writers from various disciplines, such as law, political science, economics, and sociology. Issues of public concern often have an important philosophical dimension. Philosophy & PublicAffairs is published in the belief that a philosophical examination of these issues can contribute to their clarification and to their resolution. It welcomes philosophical discussion of substantive legal, social, and political problems, as well as discussions of the more abstract questions to which they give rise. In addition, it aims to publish studies of the moral and intellectual history of such problems. Philosophy & PublicAffairs is designed to fill the need for a venue in which philosophers with different viewpoints and philosophically inclined writers from various disciplines including law, political science, economics, and sociology can bring their distinctive methods to bear on problems that concern everyone.

A priority in recent years for the Council, in cooperation with the European Commission , has been to ensure coherence in the EU s external action across the range of instruments at the EU s disposal.
