Aims and Scopes

The journal 'Themata-Revista de Filosofia' aims to provide a comprehensive platform for philosophical inquiry, engaging with diverse themes that span ethics, aesthetics, epistemology, and the intersections of philosophy with politics, science, and art. Its scope is characterized by a commitment to critical analysis and interdisciplinary dialogue.
  1. Ethical and Political Philosophy:
    The journal explores the intricate relationship between ethics and politics, focusing on contemporary issues such as non-violence, legal epistemology, and the moral implications of political actions.
  2. Philosophical Aesthetics:
    A significant emphasis is placed on aesthetics, examining the philosophical dimensions of art, beauty, and the role of aesthetic experiences in shaping human understanding and societal values.
  3. Historical and Contemporary Philosophical Dialogues:
    The journal engages with historical philosophical texts and figures, offering interpretations and critiques that connect classical ideas with modern philosophical discourse.
  4. Interdisciplinary Approaches:
    The journal fosters interdisciplinary research, integrating insights from fields such as science, literature, and politics to enrich philosophical discussions and broaden the understanding of complex issues.
  5. Skepticism and Epistemology:
    A recurring theme is the exploration of skepticism and its implications for knowledge, reality, and human experience, often through the lens of critical theory and contemporary philosophical debates.
Recent publications indicate a shift towards new themes that reflect contemporary societal challenges and philosophical inquiries, suggesting emerging areas of focus for future research.
  1. Non-violence and Ethics in Politics:
    A notable trend is the increasing examination of non-violence as a political strategy, highlighting its ethical implications and relevance in contemporary sociopolitical contexts.
  2. Aesthetic and Epistemic Intersections:
    There is a growing interest in the intersections between aesthetics and epistemology, exploring how aesthetic experiences contribute to knowledge formation and critical understanding in various fields.
  3. Philosophy of Science and Technology:
    Recent works emphasize the philosophical implications of scientific advancements and technological developments, particularly in bioethics and the critique of instrumentalism in technology.
  4. Post-truth and Visual Narratives:
    The rise of discussions around post-truth phenomena and the role of visual narratives in shaping public perception indicates an emerging area of concern for philosophers addressing contemporary media and its impact on knowledge.
  5. Collective and Communal Ethics:
    An emerging focus on collective ethics reflects a trend towards understanding ethical responsibilities within communal contexts, moving beyond individualistic frameworks to address social justice and community well-being.

Declining or Waning

As the journal evolves, certain themes have shown signs of declining prominence, reflecting shifts in scholarly interest and the philosophical landscape.
  1. Naturalism and Scientific Realism:
    While previously a significant focus, discussions surrounding naturalism and scientific realism have diminished, possibly due to a growing emphasis on critical theory and post-humanist perspectives.
  2. Traditional Metaphysics:
    Themes related to traditional metaphysical inquiries have waned, as contemporary philosophy increasingly prioritizes practical and experiential analyses over abstract metaphysical speculation.
  3. Classical Political Philosophy:
    Engagement with classical political theories has decreased, signaling a shift towards more dynamic and pragmatic approaches to political philosophy that address current global issues.
  4. Individualism in Ethics:
    The exploration of individualism as a central ethical framework has lessened, with a move towards collectivist and relational ethical theories that emphasize community and interdependence.
