The main topics of CCPEA include logic, metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, ethics, political philosophy, aesthetics, philosophy of religion, Asian philosophy, European philosophy, comparative philosophy, history of philosophy in contemporary perspective. Thought putting emphasis on analytic approaches to those topics, CCPEA also welcomes continental and other approaches.
