of Social Ontology</em> (JSO) is an interdisciplinary journal devoted to <strong>social ontology</strong> and <strong>collective intentionality</strong> that was founded in 2015 and is published as an open access journal. It is supported by <a href="https://isosonline.org/">International Social Ontology Society</a> and the University of Vienna.</p> <p>The Journal of Social Ontology publishes work in social ontology broadly understood. Social ontology is about the nature and (presumed) existence of social phenomena, such as cooperation, institutions, laws, social collectives, and social categories (e.g., gender and race). Work in other areas with a clear relevance to questions of social ontology, including empirical work, is also considered within the scope of the journal.</p> <p>The journal provides a forum for exchanges between scholars of diverse disciplinary and methodological backgrounds. In addition to major articles, JSO publishes shorter discussion articles and book reviews.</p> </section> <section class="cmp_announcements highlight_first"> <a id="homepageAnnouncements"></a> <h2> Announcements </h2> <article class="obj_announcement_summary"> <h3> <a href="https://journalofsocialontology.org/index.php/jso/announcement/view/82"> Journal of Social Ontology Continues as a Self-Published Open Access Journal </a> </h3> <div class="date"> 2022-01-03 </div> <div class="summary"> <p>As of 2022, Journal of Social Ontology will be a fully Open Access journal that is entirely self-published!</p> <a href="https://journalofsocialontology.org/index.php/jso/announcement/view/82" class="read_more"> <span aria-hidden="true" role="presentation"> Read More </span> <span class="pkp_screen_reader"> Read more about Journal of Social Ontology Continues as a Self-Published Open Access Journal </span> </a> </div> </article> <div class="more"> </div> </section> <section class="current_issue"> <a id="homepageIssue"></a> <h2> Current Issue </h2> <div class="current_issue_title"> Vol. 10 No. 3 (2024): Special Issue: Report on the Panel from the Social Ontology 2023 Conference in Stockholm </div> <div class="obj_issue_toc"> <div class="heading"> <div class="description"> <p>This is a report on the panel from the <em>Social Ontology 2023</em> conference in Stockholm. Five philosophers were invited by the conference organizers to discuss the methods of social ontology, where the field is heading, and where they would like it to be heading. The views expressed in the panel introductory text and those of the panelists are the author’s. The <em>Journal of Social Ontology</em> does not take a stand on these questions but serves as a venue for this interesting debate.</p> </div> <div class="published"> <span class="label"> Published:
