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. Papers can be submitted on-line: electronic 
version. Each paper should begin with a short abstract.
