Philosophisches Jahrbuch

About

The journal is published twice a year and offers a wide-ranging, ambitious programme. Rigorously selected contributions present philosophical treatises from theoretical and practical fields, and share historical analyses and discoveries. Initiative essays by eminent philosophers are discussed in depth by invited ‘sparring partners’ in regular yearbook controversies. Critical reports and discussions provide an overview of trends in philosophical development. Important new philosophical publications are presented in book reviews; alongside these are the detailed, critical and further-reaching reviews.

Peer Review Process

Characterization of book review/review.

A book review can be given either for a specific book or collective work or for several thematically related books/contributions/collections reviewed under a common philosophical aspect. A book review must, apart from the selective critical appreciation from the reviewer’s point of view, in any case present the main contents and central theses of the whole reviewed submission(s) in an informative way for readers.

Formally, the report differs from a review in that the former, as philosophically independent, is subjected to the anonymous acceptance procedure for all independent contributions, whereas a review (as an account dependent on the book being reviewed), identified by name, is merely examined by the editorial board and the managing editor and, if certain standards are met, is normally accepted without further ado. One of the standard conditions for reviews is that the length and importance of the reviewed book be in reasonable proportion to the size of the review, in accordance with customary practice.

Characterization of reports and contributions to discussions

A report considers a current philosophical question in light of a broader or even controversial discussion. This can take the form of either reporting on and commenting on one or more conferences devoted to the question in question, or in the form of a survey of several articles/collective volumes/books published on the subject, or a mixture of both. It would also be conceivable in the form of a contrast between classical philosophical views and one (or more) prominent current statements on the subject. What is important in any case is the illumination of the same topic from different points of view that have been or are or could be related to it and the author’s own evaluation and statement on the topic against a background thus outlined.

Useful and relevant here is also the form of a contrast between classical philosophical views and one (or more) prominent current statements on the subject. Important in any case is the illumination of the same topic from different points of view, which have been or are or could be related to it and the author’s own evaluation and statement on the topic against such a sketched background.
