Revisioning Philosophy

This series seeks innovative and explorative thought in the foundation, aim, and objectives of philosophy. Preference will be given to approaches to world philosophy and to the repositioning of traditional viewpoints. New understandings of knowledge and being in the history of philosophy will be considered. Works may take the form of monographs, collected essays, and translations which demonstrate the imaginative flair of examining foundational questions.

Philosophie et Politique / Philosophy and Politics

ISSN: 1376-0920

Ouverte aux penseurs de tous pays et de toutes cultures qui ne se contentent pas d’analyser le fonctionnement des institutions sociales mais s’interrogent sur leur sens et leur but, cette collection se propose de contribuer au renouveau de la philosophie politique. Par delà les diverses disciplines des sciences sociales, les engagements idéologiques et les préjugés des « écoles nationales », la philosophie se doit de poursuivre une recherche aussi universelle que possible du sens et de la sagesse de la vie humaine dans un monde entraîné chaotiquement vers son unité.
