• Philosophy of emotions and the phenomenology of affective life;
• Philosophy and psychiatry (philosophy of psychiatry, philosophical psychopathology, phenomenological approaches to mental disorders);
• Philosophy as a way of transformation (philosophy as a way of life, spiritual exercises, ethics of self-formation and Bildung);
• Ancient philosophy and its contemporary resonance.

Contributions in theoretical philosophy, moral philosophy, and the history of philosophy more broadly are also welcome. Prospective authors are encouraged to consult the journal's back catalogue:
