We want to promote contemporary philosophy, giving it a stronger presence in the shelves of bookstores and personal libraries.
We aim to publish philosophy that helps to:
1. Further develop the fields’ practices and self-awareness (historically, methodologically and stylistically).
2. Widen the scope of inclusion for other philosophical traditions and emerging interdisciplinary practices; which in turn, helps to place greater demand on writing with clarity for the comprehension of non-specialists readers.
3. Extend the concerns of analysis to contemporary subject matters and problem areas.
The prefix ‘con’ means “with”, and can be found in the prefix ‘contra’, which means “against”.
Contra, then, is taken as constitutive of these two meanings nested and intertwined within one another, capturing our commitment to mainstream academic philosophy – most broadly realised as Analytic Philosophy – alongside a shared, pluralistic commitment to the many other traditions, styles and methods of Philosophy as more globally and historically practiced.
