  • Sober Search: Journal of Philosophy

    Sober Search: Journal of Philosophy

    Sober Search is a peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to advancing philosophical discourse, with a strong emphasis on African perspectives in global philosophical debates. Published by the Department of Philosophy at the University of Abuja, it provides a platform for scholars to engage in diverse and innovative philosophical inquiries. While open to contributions from all areas of philosophy, the journal prioritises original and critical engagements that foreground African intellectual traditions within the broader philosophical landscape.

    The journal’s mission is to revitalise philosophical scholarship by bridging theoretical exploration with practical application. Acknowledging the historical neglect of philosophy’s role in addressing real-world challenges—especially within the Nigerian and African humanities—Sober Search highlights the discipline’s relevance to interdisciplinary research and societal transformation. By publishing high-quality, original contributions, it seeks to elevate African philosophical thought within global academic conversations.

    Sober Search publishes articles that:

    • Contribute to philosophical knowledge while addressing contemporary academic and societal concerns.
    • Balance theoretical depth with practical applicability.
    • Engage with rigorous philosophical methodologies and traditions.

    Committed to the highest academic standards, the journal requires clarity, coherence, and strict adherence to scholarly conventions. It invites scholars, researchers, and philosophers to contribute to an ongoing dialogue that shapes the evolution of philosophy in Africa and beyond.
