\nOne Hundred Years of Being and Time (1927&ndash\;2027): Heidegger's Ontology and Its
\nContemporary Resonances
\nThe year 2027 marks the centenary of the first publication of Martin Heidegger's Being and Time\, one of the most consequential philosophical works of the twentieth century. This jubilee offers a singular occasion for sustained reappraisal of Heidegger's thinking and its enduring effects across philosophy\, the humanities\, and interdisciplinary practice. The multilingual Croatian Philosophical Journal Philosophical Counselor (Filozofski savjetnik) invites submissions for a special thematic issue dedicated to this anniversary.
\nThe issue welcomes contributions that engage in any substantive way with the legacy of Being and Time across the full range of its philosophical reach\, from the original existential analytic to its ramifications in contemporary thought. The editorial board particularly encourages work addressing the practical application of Heidegger's philosophy\, including its implications for philosophical counseling and philosophical practice\, existential psychotherapy\, clinical phenomenology\, and the ethics of care. Heidegger's fundamental ontology\, and his analyses of Dasein\, temporality\, care\, mood\, anxiety\, conscience\, and authenticity\, remains an inexhaustible source for both theoretical and applied philosophy. Contributions are also invited on the ontological and existential structures of being-in-the-world in relation to clinical and therapeutic practice\, on phenomenological approaches to illness and mortality\, and on the significance of Heidegger's later thinking on technology\, dwelling\, and the question of being for contemporary philosophical and biomedical inquiry.
\nThe issue equally invites work that traces the continuation and transformation of Heidegger's project in the thought of the philosophers who followed or extended him. Hans-Georg Gadamer developed from Heidegger's hermeneutic phenomenology a comprehensive philosophical hermeneutics whose reach across the interpretation of texts\, traditions\, and cultural dialogue remains indisputable. Jacques Derrida subjected Being and Time to deconstructive reading\, thereby opening a new problematic of diffé\;rance\, the trace\, and presence that has profoundly marked continental philosophy and literary theory alike. Hannah Arendt\, as Heidegger's student\, radically transformed the analytic of Dasein in the direction of political philosophy\, grounding the concepts of action\, natality\, and the public realm in a sustained confrontation with her teacher's ontology. Paul Ricoeur constructed a hermeneutic phenomenology of narrative identity\, memory\, and time that stands in productive and tense dialogue with Heidegger's account of temporality. Emmanuel Levinas\, departing from Heidegger's ontology precisely in order to overcome it\, established an ethics of responsibility and alterity as first philosophy\, a move whose implications for medical ethics and the philosophy of care are still being worked through. Jean-Luc Marion developed a phenomenology of givenness that displaces Heidegger's problematics of being and presence into the horizon of theological and philosophical reflection on the phenomenon and revelation. Francisco Varela\, Evan Thompson\, and Humberto Maturana founded the enactivist approach to cognition and life\, drawing indispensably on Heidegger's analysis of embodied being-in-the-world as a philosophical foundation for the life sciences. The contemporary currents of 4E cognition\, enactivism\, ecological psychology\, and the phenomenology of mind continue to operate with the conceptual apparatus that Being and Time introduced into philosophical circulation\, and their relation to that inheritance merits systematic examination.
\nThe submission deadline is 31 May 2027. Submissions are accepted in English\, German\, and Croatian.
