Aims and Scopes

FILOZOFSKI VESTNIK is dedicated to the exploration of philosophical inquiries that intersect with contemporary socio-political issues, particularly through the lenses of biopolitics, necropolitics, and critical theory. The journal aims to provide a platform for innovative and interdisciplinary approaches to understanding the implications of philosophical thought in the modern world.
  1. Biopolitics and Necropolitics:
    The journal frequently examines the concepts of biopolitics and necropolitics, exploring how power relations govern life and death, and the implications of these dynamics on marginalized communities.
  2. Interdisciplinary Approaches:
    FILOZOFSKI VESTNIK encourages contributions that draw from various disciplines, including philosophy, psychoanalysis, political theory, and cultural studies, fostering a rich dialogue among different fields.
  3. Critical Examination of Contemporary Issues:
    The journal focuses on current socio-political issues such as race, colonialism, technology, and environmental crises, providing critical insights that challenge conventional narratives.
  4. Philosophical Genealogy:
    A consistent theme is the exploration of philosophical genealogies, tracing the development of ideas through historical contexts and their relevance to contemporary debates.
  5. Cultural and Artistic Critique:
    The journal often engages with cultural phenomena, including literature, film, and art, analyzing how these mediums reflect and critique societal structures.
Recent publications in FILOZOFSKI VESTNIK reveal emerging themes that reflect the journal's responsiveness to contemporary societal challenges and philosophical discourse. These themes indicate a dynamic evolution in the journal's focus and the broader philosophical landscape.
  1. Digital Humanities and Technology:
    There is an increasing emphasis on the intersection of philosophy with digital technology, particularly how digital environments shape our understanding of the body, identity, and social relations.
  2. Racialization and Colonial Critique:
    Recent papers highlight a growing concern with racialization processes and colonial histories, reflecting a critical engagement with issues of race, identity, and power in contemporary contexts.
  3. Environmental Philosophy:
    The journal is showing a trend towards environmental philosophy, addressing topics such as climate change, ecological crisis, and the philosophical implications of these urgent issues.
  4. Psychoanalysis and Cultural Critique:
    Emerging themes include the application of psychoanalytic theory to cultural and political critiques, exploring how unconscious motivations shape societal dynamics.
  5. Intersectionality and Marginalized Voices:
    There is a notable trend towards intersectionality, with a focus on marginalized voices and experiences, emphasizing how different forms of oppression intersect in contemporary society.

Declining or Waning

While FILOZOFSKI VESTNIK has maintained a strong focus on several core themes, some areas have shown a decline in prominence in recent publications. This shift may reflect evolving interests within the philosophical community or broader societal changes.
  1. Traditional Philosophical Canon:
    There appears to be a waning interest in traditional philosophical texts and figures, such as Descartes and Kant, as contemporary issues take precedence over classical philosophical debates.
  2. Purely Theoretical Discourse:
    The journal has gradually moved away from purely theoretical discussions that do not engage with practical implications or contemporary relevance, favoring more applied philosophical inquiries.
  3. Historical Philosophy:
    The examination of historical philosophical movements and their implications has diminished, as the focus shifts towards pressing modern issues and their philosophical underpinnings.
