IDEALISTIC STUDIES
Scope & Guideline
Unpacking the Relevance of Idealism Today
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Exploration of Idealist Philosophy:
The journal focuses on the foundational concepts of idealism, examining the works of philosophers like Hegel, Kant, and Schelling, and their implications for contemporary philosophical discussions. - Interdisciplinary Approaches:
IDEALISTIC STUDIES employs diverse methodologies, including historical analysis, phenomenology, and hermeneutics, to investigate the relevance of idealist thought across multiple disciplines such as ethics, aesthetics, and political philosophy. - Emphasis on Historical Context:
A significant aspect of the journal's scope is situating idealist theories within their historical contexts, analyzing how these philosophies interact with and respond to their contemporaries and predecessors. - Engagement with Contemporary Issues:
The journal also addresses contemporary philosophical debates and issues through the lens of idealism, exploring how classical ideas can inform modern discussions about identity, consciousness, and ethics. - Critical Examination of Idealism:
Contributions often include critical assessments of idealist concepts, allowing for a robust dialogue surrounding the strengths and limitations of idealist frameworks.
Trending and Emerging
- Hegelian Influence on Contemporary Thought:
Recent publications increasingly emphasize Hegel's impact on modern philosophical discourse, particularly in relation to topics such as consciousness, recognition, and the self, suggesting a resurgence of interest in Hegelian frameworks. - Integration of Naturalism and Idealism:
A growing trend is the exploration of how naturalistic perspectives can be reconciled with idealist frameworks, particularly in discussions surrounding cognition and subjectivity, indicating a blending of philosophical traditions. - Environmental Ethics and Idealism:
The journal has begun to publish more works that connect idealist philosophy with environmental ethics, showcasing a contemporary relevance that addresses current ecological concerns through an idealist lens. - Phenomenological Approaches:
There is an emerging focus on phenomenology as a method for engaging with idealist themes, reflecting a trend toward understanding subjective experience in relation to idealist thought. - Exploration of Race and Idealism:
The journal is increasingly examining the intersections of race and idealism, particularly through the works of philosophers like Du Bois and Baldwin, which indicates a broader engagement with social and political dimensions of idealist philosophy.
Declining or Waning
- Historical Figures Outside the Core Idealists:
There has been a noticeable decrease in the exploration of figures outside the central idealist tradition, such as Schopenhauer and Hume, suggesting a narrowing focus on the primary idealists like Hegel and Kant. - Aesthetic Theories:
Although aesthetics has been a part of idealist discourse, recent publications indicate a waning interest in aesthetic theories specifically, as the journal seems to pivot towards more abstract metaphysical and epistemological discussions. - Political Philosophy Discussions:
While political philosophy has been addressed, there appears to be a decline in papers specifically linking idealism to contemporary political issues, signaling a potential shift away from this intersection. - Historical Comparisons:
The comparative studies involving idealism and other philosophical traditions have seen less frequency, possibly indicating a focus more concentrated on the development of idealist thought itself rather than its relations to other philosophical movements.
