The Journal of Philosophy and Kalam is a scholarly research journal published under the supervision of the Faculty of Theology and Islamic Studies at the University of Tehran. The journal was established with the mission of developing and deepening specialized research in the fields of Islamic philosophy and kalam, analytic philosophy, and logic, and it serves as an official venue for the publication of original, peer‑reviewed research in these areas.

Relying on an editorial board composed of subject‑matter specialists, the journal accepts for publication articles that meet the required standards of scholarly originality, argumentative rigor, and methodological precision. The journal is published as a biannual, fully open‑access publication.

The Journal of Philosophy and Kalam was formed within the framework of the structural reorganization of the journal Articles and Reviews. Articles and Reviews, which for many years functioned as the sole scholarly research journal of the Faculty of Theology and Islamic Studies at the University of Tehran, was reorganized in 2009 with the aim of specializing research fields and enhancing academic quality, resulting in its division into several independent journals. One of the journals produced through this process was the Journal of Philosophy and Kalam, which has since been entrusted with the mission of publishing original, peer‑reviewed research in the fields of philosophy, Islamic kalam, logic, and other related areas of knowledge.

Maintaining academic quality through careful oversight of the peer‑review process and the selection of outstanding articles constitutes the primary priority of the editorial board. The journal employs a double‑blind peer‑review process to ensure full fairness and impartiality in the evaluation of submissions. The journal is committed to the principles of publication ethics and, in adherence to the guidelines and policies of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) (https://publicationethics.org), conducts all of its processes in accordance with international standards and regulations aimed at preventing academic misconduct.
