About the Journal

Comparative Philosophy and Religious Traditions (CPRT) is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal dedicated to advancing rigorous scholarship at the intersection of comparative philosophy and the study of religious traditions.

The journal seeks to provide a global forum for critical inquiry into philosophical thought as it emerges within, across, and beyond diverse religious and cultural contexts. CPRT promotes intercultural dialogue and comparative methodologies that illuminate both convergences and distinctions among intellectual traditions worldwide.

Mission

CPRT is committed to fostering scholarly exchange across civilizations. The journal encourages research that:

  • Engages multiple philosophical traditions
  • Examines religious thought in comparative perspective
  • Develops theoretical and methodological innovation
  • Contributes to global humanities discourse

Rather than privileging any single philosophical or theological standpoint, CPRT supports pluralism, analytical rigor, and constructive dialogue.

Scope

The journal publishes research in areas including, but not limited to:

  • Comparative philosophy across civilizations
  • Philosophy of religion in cross-cultural perspective
  • Comparative theology and interreligious thought
  • Classical and contemporary textual studies
  • Ethics, metaphysics, and epistemology across traditions
  • Religion and political philosophy
  • Secularism, post-secular thought, and modernity
  • Religion and emerging technologies

The journal welcomes interdisciplinary approaches where philosophical reflection intersects with history, theology, anthropology, or cultural studies.

Publication Model

CPRT is published twice annually (June and December). The journal operates a double-blind peer review system and follows internationally recognized standards of publication ethics. Accepted articles are published under an Online First model prior to assignment to an issue.
