Abstract
Although the philosophy of the city has developed dynamically within the last decade, it cannot be considered a well-established philosophical sub-discipline yet. As such, it shares all the strengths and weaknesses of an evolving field: The debates are diverse and creative. Philosophers working in the field test the usefulness of a wide variety of theories, traditions, and methods to further the city's philosophical understanding and interpretation. At the same time, there still exists some uncertainty regarding the exact goals and tasks of a philosophy of the city and its location within the broad and interdisciplinary field of urban research and urban theory. The present introduction to the special issue (i) provides insights into the current state of the debate, (ii) elaborates three different but mutually compatible accounts of a philosophy of the city, and (iii) pigeonholes the contributions to this special issue within this framework.
