About Ex Nihilo

Ex Nihilo is a student-run philosophy journal, which seeks to serve as an outlet for undergraduate philosophy essays of exceptional quality. The journal is produced by the Undergraduate Philosophy Association (UPA), and supported in large part by the Department of Philosophy at The University of Texas at Austin. Ex Nihilo is published in the spring.

The journal was founded in 1996 to serve the University of Texas at Austin community. We are excited to announce the revival of Ex Nihilo in 2011.
