From Monika Kirloskar [email protected]>
Confluence: Online Journal of World Philosophies (Karl Alber Verlag,
Freiburg/Munich, Germany) is a bi-annual, peer-reviewed,
international journal dedicated to comparative thought. It seeks to
explore common spaces and differences between philosophical
traditions in a global context. Without postulating cultures as
monolithic, homogenous, or segregated wholes, it aspires to address
key philosophical issues which bear on specific methodological,
epistemological, hermeneutic, ethical, social, and political
questions in comparative thought. Confluence aims to develop the
contours of a philosophical understanding not subservient to dominant
paradigms and provide a platform for diverse philosophical voices,
including those long silenced by dominant academic discourses and
institutions. Confluence also endeavors to serve as a juncture where
specific philosophical issues of global interest may be explored in
an imaginative, thought-provoking, and pioneering way.
The journal seeks submissions on all relevant aspects of comparative
philosophy. We, the editors, welcome innovative and persuasive ways
of conceptualizing, articulating, and representing intercultural
encounters. Contributions (articles, book-reviews, survey articles,
critical notes) should be able to facilitate the development of new
perspectives on current global thought-processes and sketch the
outlines of salient future developments.
Papers should not exceed a word-count of 6250 words. They should be
submitted by 31st October 2014 under: [email protected]
We adopt a double blind reviewing policy, thus ensuring that the
identities of both the author and the referees are not revealed
during the process. When submitting your article, please ensure that
your full name and address (including e-mail address), your
institutional affiliation, five to ten keywords, and an abstract
appear on a separate page. Your name should not appear on any page;
references to your own work should not reveal your identity.
Editors:
Monika Kirloskar-Steinbach (Konstanz, Germany)
