Outline and Concept of the journal "Logical Analysis and History of
Philosophy":
The journal intends to provide a forum for articles in which classical
philosophical texts are interpreted by drawing on the resources of
logical analysis. By implementing logical analysis as an instrument of
interpretation, the interpretive focus shifts from the more common,
purely exegetical approach towards a given text to the systematic
reconstruction of a theory that concerns the pertinent issues
discussed. Characteristically, such a reconstruction establishes
plausible interpretive criteria, which make it possible to ascribe to
the author a systematic theory. Such a theory can then be carefully
elucidated and developed further. In this way, novel questions can be
put to an author, and profitably pursued within the framework of the
established logical reconstruction. On the whole, this approach
promises to shed new light on classical texts, making them even more
fruitful in dealing with the controversial issues of modern
philosophy.

The languages of publication are English and German. All papers have
to be prepared for peer-review double blind refereeing. Papers must be
submitted as an electronic version (Pdf-, Doc- or TeX-File) and may be
sent to both editors via email. Each paper should also begin with a
short abstract (100 words). Further information concerning the precise
format can be ordered by mail or e-mail and can also be found on
