Aims and Scope
The Journal of Human Values is a peer-reviewed tri-annual journal devoted to research on values. Communicating across manifold knowledge traditions and geographies, it presents cutting-edge scholarship on the study of values encompassing a wide range of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. Reading values broadly, the journal seeks to encourage and foster a meaningful conversation among scholars for whom values are no esoteric resources to be archived uncritically from the past. Moving beyond cultural boundaries, the journal looks at values as something that animates the contemporary in its myriad manifestations: politics and public affairs, business and corporations, global institutions and local organizations, and the personal and the private. With a focus on original ideas, academic rigour and conceptual exegesis, the journal carries research papers, conversations, review articles and book reviews. It serves as an important forum of dialogue and discussion for a wide range of scholars from such fields as ethics and philosophy, social and political theory, cultural studies and critical management studies.
