Humana.Mente – Journal of Philosophical Studies was founded in Florence in 2007. It is a peer-reviewed international journal that publishes 4 issues a year. Each issue focuses on a specific theme, selected from among critical topics in the contemporary philosophical debate, and is edited by a specialist on the subject, usually an emerging researcher with both philosophical and scientific competence.

[edit] Aims of the journal
Humana.Mente wants to be a place for exploring the most recent trends in the international philosophical discussion and wants to give the opportunity to the international community of young researchers to confront each other, and to discuss, control and verify their theories. An analytic perspective is favored, and particular attention is given to the relationship between philosophy and science, without however neglecting the historical aspects of the philosophical topics.
[edit] Sections
Humana.Mente is organized in four sections that reflect the aims of the journal: Papers, Book Reviews, Commentaries, and Interviews. The Papers section intends to create a wide and stimulating reflection on the topics of the issue. Reviews focus on the latest books (dating back not more than 2 years prior to the publication of the issue) that relate to the issue topics. By contrast, the Commentaries section wants to re-open the debate on more "classical" books that deal with the issue topics, and possibly suggest a new perspective to interpret them. Interviews are open dialogues with notable scholars.
[edit] Languages
At present, the journal publishes papers in either English or Italian, but it is also open to contributions in French or German.
