KRITIKE is a Filipino independent, open access, peer-reviewed, and interdisciplinary journal of philosophy founded by a group of University of Santo Tomas alumni. The journal seeks to publish articles and book reviews by local and international authors across the whole range of philosophical topics, but with special emphasis on Continental Philosophy, Analytic Philosophy, and East-West Comparative Philosophy. The journal primarily caters to works by academic philosophers and graduate students, but contributions by undergraduate students are also welcomed.

With the view that there is a continuing increase in the use of the internet as medium of research by scholars and students of philosophy, KRITIKE is made available online and is free to anyone who wishes to use it. Articles are downloadable individually as PDF files and old issues are archived for future retrieval. The journal is listed in the Philippine Journals Online website managed by the International Network for the Availability of Scientific Publications. KRITIKE is indexed in the Directory of Open Access Journals, Asia Journals Online, and the Open Science Directory of EBSCO Information Services.

The word kritike is Greek from the verb krinein, which means to discern. Hence, kritike means the art of discerning or the art of critical analysis. Every form of philosophizing (Continental, Analytic, or Eastern) is, in one way or another, a "critique" of something. Being critical, therefore, is an attitude common to all philosophical traditions. Indeed, the meaning of philosophy is critique and to be philosophical is to be critical.

KRITIKE is a biannual journal published in June and December of each year.

". . . I would thus propose this general characterization as a rather preliminary definition of critique: the art of not being governed so much."

- Michel Foucault, What is Critique?
