History and Development

Founded in 1968, the periodical developed alongside debates involving phenomenologists such as Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger, and alongside analytic figures like Bertrand Russell and G. E. Moore whose work framed contrasting currents. The journal chronicled postwar transformations associated with Frankfurt School thinkers including Theodor W. Adorno and Max Horkheimer as well as the rise of Structuralism connected to Claude Lévi-Strauss, Roland Barthes, and Louis Althusser. In subsequent decades the review engaged major events and publications: the reception of Being and Time by Martin Heidegger, the controversies surrounding The Order of Things by Michel Foucault, the influence of Difference and Repetition by Gilles Deleuze, and the renewed interest prompted by translations of Phenomenology of Perception by Maurice Merleau-Ponty.

Scope and Thematic Focus

The journal covers topics linked to canonical works by Immanuel Kant such as the Critique of Pure Reason, hermeneutic debates stemming from Truth and Method by Hans-Georg Gadamer, and ethical inquiries in the wake of Adorno and Hannah Arendt's political writings. It addresses intersections with literature and theory through authors like Jacques Derrida and Paul de Man, and explores psychoanalytic theory via Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan. Articles examine intersections with social thought by way of Karl Marx, Max Weber, Émile Durkheim, and contemporary political theorists such as Jürgen Habermas, Nancy Fraser, and Chantal Mouffe. The review also publishes work on the history of philosophy engaging Plato, Aristotle, Stoicism, and medieval figures like Thomas Aquinas, while fostering dialogue with contemporary continental-influenced scholars including Alain Badiou, Giorgio Agamben, Roberto Esposito, Byung-Chul Han, Antonio Negri, Michael Hardt, Judith Butler, Paul Ricoeur, Hans Blumenberg, Peter Sloterdijk, Rosi Braidotti, Bruno Latour, Isabelle Stengers, Donna Haraway, Bruno Latour.
