Declining or Waning
- Classical Metaphysics:
Discussions centered on classical metaphysical concepts, such as substance and essence, seem to be decreasing. The journal's recent emphasis on contemporary philosophical debates indicates a move away from traditional metaphysical inquiries. - Historical Philosophical Figures:
While historical figures like Kant and Nietzsche have been prevalent in earlier publications, their representation appears to be declining as the journal increasingly prioritizes contemporary thinkers and current philosophical challenges. - Theoretical Philosophy without Practical Application:
