About the Journal

With vol. 22 (2005) Polis appears in two issues (spring and fall). Polis is a refereed journal and publishes material of interest to those who study ancient Greek political thought,whether they do so as classicists, ancient historians, philosophers, political scientists or whatever.

‘Political thought’ is not defined narrowly as political philosophy but to cover political thinking at all levels, and thus the study of political institutions and practices, history, and literature are all included. Polis also publishes articles on the reception of ancient political thought in Europe, America, or elsewhere.
The particular aim of the society whose journal this is, the Society for the Study of Greek Political Thought, is to draw together, and encourage collaboration between, those interested in Greek political thought whatever their specialism or approach. The journal speaks for no particular perspective or methodology; it is the newsletter of the Society, and of its associated chapters, and open to contributions from its members and from non-members.

Indexing and Abstracting
Articles in Polis are listed in The Philosopher's Index, International Political Science Abstracts, and the bibliographies in Tijdschrift voor Philosophie.
