Apeiron-A Journal for Ancient Philosophy and Science
Scope & Guideline
Illuminating Ancient Wisdom for Modern Minds
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Exploration of Ancient Philosophical Texts:
The journal emphasizes in-depth analysis of primary texts from ancient philosophers, such as Plato, Aristotle, and the Stoics, examining their arguments, methodologies, and implications for modern thought. - Interdisciplinary Approaches:
Apeiron encourages interdisciplinary research that connects philosophy with other domains such as medicine, cosmology, ethics, and political theory, highlighting the relevance of ancient ideas in contemporary contexts. - Historical Contextualization:
The journal seeks to contextualize ancient philosophical ideas within their historical and cultural frameworks, providing insights into how these ideas have evolved and influenced various fields of study. - Critical Engagement with Ancient Science:
Apeiron also addresses ancient scientific concepts and their philosophical underpinnings, fostering discussions on how ancient science informs or contrasts with modern scientific paradigms. - Focus on Lesser-Known Philosophers:
In addition to well-known figures, the journal aims to shed light on lesser-known philosophers and schools of thought, expanding the scope of ancient philosophical discourse.
Trending and Emerging
- Integration of Ancient Science with Philosophy:
There is a growing trend in exploring the relationship between ancient philosophical thought and scientific inquiry, particularly how ancient cosmological ideas intersect with modern scientific theories. - Ethics and Moral Philosophy:
Recent papers have increasingly focused on ethical theories, especially in the context of Aristotelian ethics and its implications for contemporary moral dilemmas, indicating a revitalized interest in moral philosophy. - Cognitive and Psychological Aspects of Ancient Philosophy:
Emerging themes in the journal include investigations into cognitive science and psychology as they relate to ancient philosophical ideas, particularly concerning human desire, decision-making, and ethics. - Revisiting Lesser-Known Philosophers:
There is a notable increase in scholarly attention towards lesser-known ancient philosophers, suggesting a trend towards a more inclusive understanding of the philosophical landscape of antiquity. - Philosophy of Language and Logic:
Recent publications indicate a rising interest in the philosophy of language and logical arguments within ancient texts, particularly in the works of Plato and Aristotle, as scholars seek to unpack complex linguistic and logical structures.
Declining or Waning
- Stoic Philosophy and Its Applications:
While Stoicism has been a significant area of interest in the past, recent publications indicate a waning focus on its practical applications and relevance to contemporary issues, suggesting a shift towards other philosophical traditions. - Epicureanism and Hedonism:
The exploration of Epicurean thought, particularly its ethical implications, appears to be declining, with fewer papers addressing its principles compared to previous years. - Political Philosophy in Ancient Texts:
Although political philosophy has been a core theme, recent trends suggest a reduced emphasis on the political dimensions of ancient texts, possibly overshadowed by more metaphysical or ethical inquiries. - Comparative Analyses of Philosophical Schools:
There seems to be a decline in comparative studies that juxtapose different philosophical schools, such as Platonic and Aristotelian thought, indicating a move towards more focused, singular analyses. - Historical Reception of Ancient Philosophy:
Research on the historical reception and influence of ancient philosophy in later periods has become less prominent, as the journal appears to concentrate more on original texts and ideas rather than their historical interpretations.
