Aims and Scopes

The journal 'Global Philosophy' serves as a platform for interdisciplinary exploration of philosophical inquiries that intersect with various domains of human knowledge and societal issues. It aims to contribute to the understanding of contemporary philosophical debates while engaging with traditional philosophical concepts.
  1. Interdisciplinary Philosophy:
    The journal emphasizes the integration of philosophical inquiry with other disciplines, including technology, medicine, mathematics, and the sciences, fostering a rich dialogue that crosses traditional boundaries.
  2. Ethics and Social Philosophy:
    A core focus on ethical implications and social dimensions of philosophical issues, particularly in relation to technology, governance, and societal structures.
  3. Philosophy of Science and Technology:
    Exploration of philosophical questions surrounding scientific practices, methodologies, and the implications of technological advancements on human life and society.
  4. Epistemology and Metaphysics:
    Investigation into the nature of knowledge, belief, and reality, addressing foundational questions in epistemology and metaphysics, including realism, consciousness, and the philosophy of language.
  5. Mathematical Philosophy:
    A unique contribution to the understanding of mathematical practice and its philosophical underpinnings, including discussions on logic, proof, and the conceptual foundations of mathematics.
Recent publications in 'Global Philosophy' reveal a dynamic shift towards a variety of trending and emerging themes that reflect contemporary concerns and interdisciplinary approaches in philosophical inquiry.
  1. Philosophy of Technology and AI:
    A significant increase in discussions surrounding the implications of artificial intelligence and technology on human identity, ethics, and societal structures, highlighting the urgency of these topics in today’s digital age.
  2. Intersections of Science and Ethics:
    A growing trend towards exploring ethical dimensions in scientific practices, particularly in medicine and technology, emphasizing the need for philosophical scrutiny in these rapidly evolving fields.
  3. Emergence and Complexity in Philosophy:
    An emerging focus on concepts of emergence and complexity, particularly in the context of scientific realism and cognitive science, reflecting a broader interest in how complex systems operate and are understood.
  4. Global Perspectives in Philosophy:
    An increasing emphasis on diverse philosophical perspectives, particularly from underrepresented cultures and worldviews, indicating a move towards a more inclusive understanding of global philosophical discourse.
  5. Mathematical and Logical Philosophy:
    A resurgence in the exploration of mathematical and logical foundations, particularly in relation to epistemology and the philosophy of language, suggesting a renewed interest in these traditional areas.

Declining or Waning

In contrast to the emerging themes, certain areas of inquiry appear to be losing prominence in the recent publications within 'Global Philosophy.' This decline may reflect shifts in philosophical priorities or the maturation of previously explored topics.
  1. Traditional Metaphysical Debates:
    While metaphysical discussions remain relevant, there has been a noticeable decrease in traditional debates surrounding metaphysical realism and nominalism, possibly due to a shift towards more applied philosophical inquiries.
  2. Historical Philosophical Analysis:
    The journal has seen fewer papers dedicated to historical analyses of philosophical figures or movements, indicating a trend towards contemporary issues rather than historical context.
  3. Purely Abstract Mathematical Philosophy:
    The focus on abstract mathematical philosophy, while still present, seems to be waning in favor of more applied discussions that connect mathematics with real-world implications and ethical considerations.
