Contretemps: an online journal of philosophy

Website: http://www.usyd.edu.au/contretemps.

Contretremps No 6 (January 2006), "Democratic Futures", is now available.

There is currently a call for submissions for Issue 7, on "Sedition".

The aim of Contretemps is to enact a philosophical engagement with social and political events. We seek to publish original and insightful work that attests to the contemporary moment and that expands the horizons of critical thought. Departing from the models of exposition and the recycling of the history of philosophy, Contretemps encourages contributors to read events with, alongside and perhaps against the discipline of philosophy. The objective is to create new ways of responding to events, thus to participate in and reinvent philosophical sociality.

Contretemps is an independent journal of philosophy, supported by the Department of Philosophy, University of Sydney, Australia.

Please direct all inquires to [email protected].
