Journals

  • Yearbook for Philosophy of Complex Systems

    The »Yearbook for the Philosophy of Complex Systems« is dedicated to the scientific, systematic and philosophical exploration of complexity as a core concept of our time, both from a socio-political as well as a scientific point of view The primary objective is to foster a comprehensive disciplinary engagement with complex systems within the domain of philosophical reflection. This endeavior involves examining non-linear dynamical processes and systems far from equilibrium through mathematical and physical approaches, investigating questions of organization and emergent behaviour from systemic-cybernetic perspectives, and exploring the application of the concept of »complexity« across various fields of study.

    The Yearbook seeks to serve as a platform for interdisciplinary research in its broadest scope, emphasizing studies and approaches related to complexity and complex systems. It aims to bring together work conducted through diverse languages, methods, and conceptual frameworks, while maintaining a philosophical focus on the foundational aspects of knowledge. By means of historical (history of science and culture), theoretical (i.e. epistemology and theory of science) and media studies, an attempt will be made to implement and harmonise the concept and forms of complexity within the framework of current conceptual constellations and debates in philosophy, science, culture, society and their combinations.

  • Journal of Contextual Economics – Schmollers Jahrbuch

    Economics is social science. This central idea guiding Schmollers Jahrbuch since its founding in 1871 has lost none of its relevance. Ever more scholars have discovered that an »isolating« economics that removes economic processes from their social, historical, ethical, and ecological contexts in the interest of applying certain formal methods runs the danger of missing important aspects of economic reality. In philosophy, the humanities, and the social sciences, contextualism has grown in importance over the last several years, a core postulate of which is that a fuller understanding of human thought and action requires a grasp of the context in which they are embedded. In line with its original intention, the main objective of Schmollers Jahrbuch is to offer such newer research a forum in which economic life is set in relation to its social and physical environment. Institutional approaches appear to be particularly relevant to this purpose, nevertheless quantitative and qualitative methods are equally welcome. We also wish to solicit contributions that devote themselves to questions of long-term human development and societal change, including from the perspective of economic history and the history of economic thought. Considering social and normative questions is an important thematic focus in the long tradition of this journal.

    Starting with volume 2022, this journal will be published in Open Access as part of a Subscribe to Open pilot project.
