Ratio publishes high-quality works on a variety of subjects. It encourages articles that meet the highest standards of the philosophical profession while remaining accessible to readers across the broad range of philosophical disciplines. The journal's main focus is on analytic philosophy, but it also includes works from other traditions. A special issue of Ratio published in December each year is dedicated to themes of particular philosophical significance and character, and contributions are invited from leading authorities in the field. The core of each special issue is the papers presented at a one-day conference organized during the Easter vacation at the University of Reading's Philosophy Department.
