Aims and Scopes

The journal emphasizes rigorous philosophical analysis across various domains, including ethics, metaphysics, and epistemology, often addressing classical philosophical questions through contemporary lenses. - Interdisciplinary Approaches:
Manuscrito publishes works that bridge philosophy with other fields such as economics, cognitive science, and quantum mechanics, reflecting a commitment to interdisciplinary scholarship. - Critical Reviews and Responses:
The journal encourages critical discourse by featuring reviews and responses to existing philosophical arguments, fostering a dynamic dialogue within the academic community. - Process Philosophy and Ontology:
A core focus of the journal is on process philosophy, exploring themes of change, consciousness, and relational structures, which are often examined in the context of historical and modern philosophical figures. - Normative Theories and Ethics:
The journal delves into normative theories, particularly in ethics and moral philosophy, analyzing concepts such as truth, belief, and the implications of human behavior.
Trending and Emerging
- Quantum Mechanics and Consciousness:
A growing interest in the intersections between quantum mechanics and consciousness is evident, with papers exploring process-based approaches that challenge traditional views of reality and perception. - Economic Behavior and Philosophy:
The influence of psychological factors, such as vanity, on economic behavior has emerged as a significant theme, highlighting a trend towards integrating economic theories with philosophical analysis of human behavior. - Ethical Implications of Normative Theories:
There is an increasing focus on the ethical implications of normative theories, particularly in discussions surrounding moral responsibility and the nature of belief, reflecting a broader engagement with contemporary ethical dilemmas. - Cognitive Science and Philosophy:
The integration of cognitive science into philosophical discussions is on the rise, with an emphasis on understanding human cognition and its implications for philosophical theories of mind and knowledge. - Relational Ontology:
The concept of relational structures in ontology is gaining traction, as scholars explore how process-based entities interact and relate, moving away from traditional substance-based ontology.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Theological Debates:
There has been a noticeable decrease in papers focusing on traditional theological arguments, such as the existence of God or debates surrounding miracles, indicating a potential shift away from purely theological discourse. - Historical Philosophical Analysis:
Papers that center on the historical analysis of classical philosophers, such as extensive discussions on figures like Aquinas or Leibniz, appear to be less frequent, suggesting a move towards more contemporary issues. - Formal Logic and Technical Approaches:
Although formal logic remains a foundational aspect of philosophical inquiry, the frequency of papers employing highly technical logical frameworks has diminished, indicating a trend towards more accessible and broader philosophical discussions.
