Collapse was an independent, non-affiliated magazine of philosophical research and development published in the United Kingdom by Urbanomic.
Collapse was founded in 2006 [1] by Robin Mackay. It served as a successor to the ***collapse journal that operated between 1995 and 1996 and was edited by Robin Mackay with Robert O'Toole. The magazine was based in Oxford. [1] It featured speculative work in progress by contemporary philosophers, along with contributions from artists, scientists and other writers outside of philosophy. [2] In December 2008, as a part of BBC Today guest editor Zadie Smith's programme, the author Hari Kunzru listed Urbanomic's Collapse as an avant-garde philosophy journal in his A guide to the artistic underground. [3] The magazine's output is collected in eight volumes, the last of which was published in December 2014. [4] As of January 2026, a ninth volume, which was to be titled Logic of Scents, was listed as 'forthcoming' with an unspecified date. [5]
