Aims and Scope

Journal of Economic Epistemology and Philosophy

 

Journal of Economic Epistemology and Philosophy (JEEP) is an international scholarly journal dedicated to publishing high-quality academic works that examine the philosophical, epistemological, ethical, historical, and theoretical foundations of economics and economic thought. The journal aims to provide a rigorous intellectual platform for scholars who critically explore how economic knowledge is formed, justified, interpreted, and applied in social, institutional, political, and moral contexts.

The journal welcomes manuscripts that engage with fundamental questions concerning the nature of economic reasoning, the assumptions behind economic theories, the relationship between economics and society, and the philosophical foundations of economic systems, policies, and institutions. It encourages critical, conceptual, theoretical, historical, and interdisciplinary studies that contribute to a deeper understanding of economics beyond technical modeling and empirical measurement.

The journal particularly supports works that address economic ideas in relation to justice, welfare, human behavior, rationality, capitalism, socialism, Islamic economics, institutionalism, development, public policy, governance, sustainability, and contemporary socio-economic transformation. Submissions may draw from philosophy, economics, political economy, sociology, history of economic thought, ethics, law, public policy, and related disciplines.

The scope of the journal includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:

  • Philosophy of economics

  • Epistemology of economic science

  • Methodology of economics

  • History of economic thought

  • Ethics and moral philosophy in economics

  • Political economy and economic ideology

  • Capitalism, socialism, and alternative economic systems

  • Islamic economic thought and philosophy

  • Institutional economics and social order

  • Economic justice and distributive ethics

  • Welfare, poverty, inequality, and moral economy

  • Rationality, human behavior, and decision-making

  • Economic assumptions, models, and scientific explanation

  • Neoliberalism, development, and critical economic theory

  • Public policy, governance, and economic philosophy

  • Sustainability, ecological economics, and intergenerational justice

  • Law, regulation, and philosophical foundations of economic policy

  • Indigenous, religious, and non-Western economic thought

  • Interdisciplinary studies linking economics, philosophy, society, and politics

The journal accepts original research articles, conceptual papers, critical essays, theoretical analyses, literature reviews, and policy-oriented philosophical discussions. Submissions are expected to demonstrate conceptual clarity, strong argumentation, academic originality, and relevance to contemporary debates in economics and society.

JEEP prioritizes manuscripts that do not merely describe economic phenomena, but critically examine the ideas, values, assumptions, and knowledge systems that shape economic theory, policy, and practice.
