The journal is the successor to the publication "Scientific Notes of the N.K. Krupskaya Moscow Region Pedagogical Institute", which in 1978 received the permission of the Presidium of the USSR Higher Attestation Commission and the USSR State Publishing Committee for the right to publish the main results of doctoral dissertations.
In 1998, the academic journal "Bulletin of the Moscow Region State University" started being issued.
Since 2006 the name of the journal is: "Bulletin of Moscow Region State University. Series: Philosophy".
Initially, three main sections were formed in the journal: "Ontology and cognition theory", "History of Philosophy", "Social Philosophy", later the section "Philosophy of Science and Technology" appeared. Of great importance was (and still is) the section "Questions of scientific life", in which, since the foundation of the journal, the academic achievements of the Department of Philosophy and the dissertation council functioning on its basis have been highlighted. Until 2010, the editor-in-chief of the series was Doctor of Philosophy, Professor, Head of the Department of Philosophy, A.I. Dyrin - he presented an in-depth analysis of dissertations defended in the Council, published the department's monographs, introduced the academic community to promising young researchers. The content of this section today is difficult to overestimate: it represents a kind of chronicle of the department’s academic development, containing both the drama of losses, and the joy of creative gains… Today, this section publishes academic essays dedicated to the anniversaries of outstanding Russian thinkers, reviews of new textbooks on philosophy.
The authors of the articles are both young researchers, and well-known philosophers (academician K.A. Abulkhanova–Slavskaya, professors V.V. Ilyin, S.A. Lebedev, etc.). They analyze a wide range of philosophical problems from scientific methodology and patterns of social transformations to anthropological and social risks of artificial intelligence and research of historical and philosophical orientation. The journal publishes works of foreign researchers: Professors Michio Mikosiba (Japan), Marina Janic (Serbia), Daniela Kostadinovic (Serbia). In recent years, the journal has widely presented interdisciplinary research at the intersection of different fields of modern knowledge, paying attention to the substantiation of the criteria of scientific paradigms and especially the emerging neoclassical paradigm.
