Most of the articles in the magazine are critiques of ancient philosophers that students have studied in their classes. Campbell said, describing the content of the magazine, "It is the work of philosophy students here on campus, and it needs to be out there and published. More people should be reading them than just the professors that are grading them because there are many interesting and good works being written. Some philosophy is so high browed that you would need to have a few degrees in it to understand what is going on. Since this is undergraduate work it is more low-key and I think that anyone can understand what is going on and be enlightened by what is being said." Campbell also said, "When you walk down the hall and hear students talking, it doesn't matter what field they are studying or what they really do, they are discussing a lot of these topics. There are a few articles that focus on modern issues and what is happening around us, even in our communities. I think that this is a good publication for anyone to read because it is accessible to them. It is not written in overly complicated language that would be difficult to understand like some philosophical texts are, but we do have an interesting perspective here being in this Valley. I think that it is a good source to bounce ideas off of, and to see what other people have done and how other people are thinking on the same issues."
