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 http://www.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/philosophy/pla/. 
Furthermore, papers and reviews concerning the classics throughout the 
History of Philosophy are welcome at any time. Please send papers to the
