Focus and Scope

In an era dominated by the omnipotence of image, the ubiquity of information and the often uncritical, media-constructed conception of reality, well-founded reasoning and analysis of contemporary issues constitute two interweaving issues. Simultaneously, however, it is essential that scientific reasoning and analysis are rendered perceivable by public.

Hence, Intellectum intends to promote critical thought and dialogue which is developed beyond the traditionally demarcated academic boundaries, within a wider spectrum of society. It aspires to situate the reader in the core of critical thinking and thus become a valuable conception tool of the rapidly changing scientific and socio-political environment. Moreover, it wishes to assist in the refutation of stereotypes and challenge of current orthodoxies via the projection of multiple approaches from a wide array of scientific fields (law, sociology, history, biology, medicine, political  sciences, philosophy etc.).

Ultimately, the Intellectum journal aims at forming a meeting place for readers' intellectual encounters, expressions and perceptions, which constantly evolve and differentiate.
