Tabula Rasa

Dear Reader,

TABVLA RASA, Jena’s magazine for critical thinking has been published for more than 15 years. Contributors are young scholars from a wide range of faculties of the Friedrich-Schiller-University, Jena, Germany who have their routes at the philosophical department, the alma mater Jenensis. The third generation of editors ensures the magazine fulfils the aims that were agreed when it was founded.

TABVLA RASA wants:

to offer an open and approachable forum for philosophical thoughts that have yet to be tested;
to give access to groundbreaking research in the modern humanities as well as criticise it;
be a more flexible alternative to the rigid philosophical press.

We publish texts if they are good. We welcome texts from the humanities, social and applied sciences. We want to encourage writers and scholars from other universities to make their way into the public domain through us. We are proud to have established professors amongst our writers and think this vouches for excellent conditions for presenting yourself to the scientific community.

Being an online magazine provides our contributors with the following privileges:

no strict text limitations regarding length and layout. Though we – and our readers - do prefer a text’s length to reflect the significance of its thesis
fast feedback – the writers generally know within seven days whether his or her piece made it into the magazine and we use online communication to exchange thoughts and deal with queries most efficiently
the editors have set up an excellent network of young scholars that allows them to judge texts that fall outside our subject area / the humanities

We hope to welcome those who share our ideas and goals as writers for our cross faculty magazine.

We are looking forward to your contribution.

The editorial team
