Welcome to Arché

Boston University's student-led journal of philosophy

About Our Journal


Arché, Boston University’s student-led journal of philosophy, is edited and published by motivated, inquisitive students from diverse academic backgrounds in the College of Arts & Sciences in coordination with the Department of Philosophy. We strive to highlight exceptional student work, providing undergraduates and graduates at BU and around the world with a platform to share their philosophical writing with a broad readership. The editorial team of Arché is dedicated to helping students bridge the gap between the kind of writing that is expected of them in their coursework and the kind of writing that is expected of an academic philosopher. Editors not only improve their own writing skills but also expand their knowledge of a broad range of philosophical topics and questions. As a collegiate journal, we offer BU students the opportunity to gain practical experience working in publishing as well as to receive professional training related to editorial work.


Editors-in-Chief, 2022/2023: Daniel Cardosi; Vanessa Hanger
