AIMS
AND SCOPE
»EXISTENTIA«
is a journal of philosophy, and related subjects. This international
journal is edited in Hungary as from 1991. We gave place first
of all to texts of purely philosophical content. Our
periodical is focussed on classical European thought, especially
on the timeliness and actualization of the imperishable doctrines
of ancient Greek and Latin authors. This ancient humanism,
the essential digest of which is philosophy, permeating the
whole of human paideia and culture, is what our periodical
wishes to make sound. Hence, the purely philosophical character
of our periodical does not mean that we do not welcome writings
dealing with the philosophical concept and theory of literature,
arts or science; namely, it is philosophy that is destined
– owing to its ancient Greek character – to study the
questions what is literature, what is science,
and what are the arts. The central purpose of EXISTENTIA
is to foster a living dialogue within the international community
on philosophical issues of mutual interest. It seeks to elicit,
within this international space of dialogue, discussions of
fundamental philosophical problems and original approaches
to their solution. Although not an advocate of any one trend
or school in philosophy, it endeavours to keep abreast of
developments within phenomenology and hermeneutical philosophy
and contemporary continental philosophy and is interested
in investigations that probe possible points of intersection
between the continental and the Anglo-American traditions.
Although routinely the published articles are in English and
German, from time to time manuscripts written in French, Italian,
and Hungarian are accepted. EXISTENTIA
contains reviews of recent, original works in philosophy.
It provides considerable space for such reviews, allowing
the critic to develop his comments and assessments at some
lenght.
SUPPLEMENTA
»SUPPLEMENTS
to EXISTENTIA« provides a forum for
publications on all aspects of the ancient Greek philosophy
and science. Works published include monographs, critical
text editions, translations, commentaries, and collections
of by essays by various authors on closely defined themes
about the classical European thought, especially about the
Greek thought.
