Is it to try to summarize many chapters in one article, or you would try to publish standalone articles for each chapter? I'm in Philosophy in the UK. I have read that one should not try to squeeze an entire thesis into an article. In my case I have already published the long introductory chapter, so what's left are a list of criteria, case studies, and a conclusion.

This depends on the dissertation and the field. Publishers want to publish significant results, not chapters. If you have several independently important results you can publish a lot of papers. If you have a dissertation with many results building to a main result, then maybe yes or maybe no, depending on the importance of those intermediate results.
But it is up to the editors and reviewers to make a judgement about publishing.
In some cases, a journal will be willing to publish a long article that contains all of your important results in a single paper. This gets the essence out without trying to salami slice the dissertation.
