The "Journal of the Philosophy of Social Science" (Philosophy of the Social Sciences, POS) has a profound academic influence, providing an important communication platform for philosophical discussions in the field of social sciences. This journal not only gathers scholars from around the world, promoting the exchange of ideas across different cultures and academic backgrounds, but also encourages interdisciplinary dialogue to explore deep-seated issues in social sciences.

The topics covered by the journal are extensive, ranging from the methodological foundations of social science research to the interpretation of social phenomena from a philosophical perspective, from the exploration of the relationship between the individual and society to the evolution of social science theories. POS pays particular attention to the debate between individualism and holism in social sciences, a debate that touches on core issues in social science research, such as the interaction between individual behavior and social structure, and the philosophical basis for explanation and prediction in social sciences.

In addition, POS also focuses on the diversity and complexity of rationality in social sciences, exploring the manifestations of rationality in different social and cultural contexts, and how rationality affects social decision-making and policy formulation. By publishing high-quality research papers, POS aims to promote in-depth development of the philosophy of social sciences, providing new perspectives and theoretical tools for understanding and solving complex issues in social sciences.
