CALL FOR PAPERS X, 24, 2024: LANDSCAPES/TERRITORIES, NATURE/ENVIRONMENT. GEOPHILOSOPHICAL ISSUES?

 

Dead line: January 15, 2024

 

There are several underlying issues to the title, which can be analyzed individually or intertwined. It is known that the issue of landscape is lately primarily linked to the aesthetic realm, the territorial one to the ethical-political sphere, the environmental one to sustainability, and that of nature to the more classical philosophical or scientific realm. This issue of Logoi aims to collect essays and proposals of a disciplinary or interdisciplinary nature on these individual concepts, while simultaneously questioning whether they may – in whole or in part – be related to a perspective perhaps too soon forgotten, namely that of geophilosophy.

 

Sections ‘Theoretical Issues’:

– Essays on the themes: landscape, territory, nature, environment, geophilosophy.

 

Sections ‘Teaching Philosophy’

We accept contributions that, in relation to these sections,

(a) discuss the possibility and difficulties of presenting the theme in philosophy, and through philosophy, in high schools;

(b) propose paths, educational materials related to the theme, also in relation to experiences of ‘inclusive’ philosophy.

 

Authors interested in responding to a Call for Papers are invited to

1. consult the ‘Submit’ section where they will find instructions for submitting materials;
2. read the editorial guidelines [pdf], Proposals not conforming to these guidelines will not be accepted. It is also worth noting that only unpublished contributions related to the monographic themes chosen by the Editorial Board for the journal will be considered.

CALL FOR PAPERS X, 25, 2024: HEIDEGGER AND THE FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS OF ARISTOTELIAN PHILOSOPHY (1924-2024)

 

Dead line: August, 20  2024

 

Exactly 100 years have passed since Heidegger delivered the course ‘Fundamental Concepts of Aristotelian Philosophy.’ Edited in 2002, this course attracted the attention of scholars for various reasons, both from the perspective of Heidegger and Aristotelian thinkers, as well as philosophers interested in language and rhetoric in general.
In the Marburg phase, this course represents the first intense engagement with Aristotle and, for this reason, serves as a valuable laboratory for understanding the evolution and elaboration of existential analytics.
Heidegger himself emphasizes the importance of these investigations: see ‘Being and Time,’ § 29, where reference is made to Aristotelian ‘Rhetoric,’ understood as “the first systematic hermeneutics of being in everyday life.” Also, see ‘Besinnung’ (1938-’39): here Heidegger notes how many of his early insights have been surpassed but states, “something still usable […] is contained in the interpretation of the Sophist and the lectures on Aristotle’s Rhetoric.” Furthermore, in 1972, in a letter to Arendt, Heidegger expresses concern because “I lack both the manuscript and any collection of notes from the important course in 1924 on Aristotle, Rhetoric, Book II.” Indeed, the available text is based on students’ transcriptions.
Among the key themes of the course, some are less developed in the rest of Heidegger’s work (such as koinonia, ethos, politics, pathos, phronesis, and arete), while others are well-known but introduced here: being, time, language.

This issue of ‘Logoi’ aims to collect essays that, from different perspectives, can:

1. work within the framework of the 1924 course and demonstrate its importance in Heidegger’s intellectual journey or its relevance to philosophy today;
2. start from non-Heideggerian perspectives and engage with what Heidegger proposed/promoted within the course;
3. choose a fundamental aspect of the 1924 course and illustrate its evolution in Heidegger’s subsequent philosophical development.
