Ashoka Philosophy Society

The Philosophy Society aims to make philosophy more accessible by illustrating how it is intrinsically linked, not only to the liberal arts, but to the process of thinking in general. Through our diverse & unorthodox events, we persevere to prove that the subject is not abstruse: it does not lie solely in the domain of dead white men who would use ‘abstruse’ instead of ‘obscure’, for no good reason.

Citta

CITTA: VOLUME II

The Philosophy Society is excited and proud to announce the second volume of Citta — Ashoka University’s student-run, peer-reviewed undergraduate Philosophy journal.

Call for Abstracts and Drafts

We are inviting abstracts and drafts for the second volume of Citta, which is scheduled for publication in February 2025. All philosophy students — current and prospective majors, minors, interdisciplinary majors, and concentrations in philosophy — are invited to submit their abstracts and drafts. We do not prescribe a theme, but require that all submissions be accompanied by tags that fall into at least one category mentioned here (excluding topics under ‘Other Academic Areas’).

General Submission Details:

Abstracts should be between 200-300 words.
Drafts should be between 2,500-3,500 words.

The deadline for submission is 11.59 PM on Friday, 20 December 2024.

Kindly follow these guidelines for the submission of abstracts and drafts. You are expected to meet the categorical and formatting requirements sketched in the guidelines before we consider your abstract or paper.

Refer to this page for FAQs.

Both abstracts and drafts will be accepted through this form.

Peer-Review Team

Philosophy students of Ashoka are eligible to submit Peer Reviewer applications.

Since Citta is peer-reviewed and student-run, we will soon open applications for Ashokans who wish to be on the peer-review team for this volume. Check your inboxes for updates on the requirements and application forms.

Note: You can do both—submit your abstract/draft for the volume and apply to be a Peer Reviewer.

Stay in the loop!

We welcome you to follow the Ashoka PhilSoc page on Instagram to remain up to date with news, timelines, and announcements related to Citta. Stay tuned!

We look forward to reading your abstracts and drafts!

PhilCon 2019

The Announcement:

PhilCon Ashoka University is India’s only Undergraduate Philosophy Conference. Apart from featuring academic speakers, the conference will provide a platform for undergraduate philosophy students to present their work to peers and esteemed academics. It will take place on 23rd March 2019.

PhilCon 2019 aims to push the boundaries of what an academic conference can be. We want to be as radical and inclusive as possible in our choice of theme, speakers and structure. We’re looking for people who are excited about Philosophy but want to reimagine traditional philosophical engagement.
