Philosophy & Social Criticisman international, inter-disciplinary journal |
EDITORIAL STATEMENT:
In modern industrial society reason cannot be separated from practical life. At their interface a critical attitude is forged. Philosophy & Social Criticism wishes to foster this attitude through the publication of essays in philosophy and politics, philosophy and social theory, socio-economic thought, critique of science, theory and praxis. We provide a forum for open scholarly discussion of these issues from a critical-historical point of view.
Philosophy & Social Criticism presents an international range of theory and critique, emphasizing the contribution of continental scholarship as it affects major contemporary debates.
Since it was established in 1973, the journal has published the work of some of the world's leading theorists, including: Seyla Benhabib, Cornelius Castoriadis, Umberto Eco, Michel Foucault, Jürgen Habermas, Agnes Heller, Axel Honneth, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Ernesto Laclau, and Paul Ricoeur.
Philosophy & Social Criticism has been at the forefront of contemporary academic scholarship and over the years has provided a focal point for major international debates and theoretical developments.
