Philotheos (ΦΙΛΟΘΕΟΣ) is an international journal for philosophy and theology which was founded in 2001 and is edited by Bogoljub Šijaković, a Serbian intellectual and one-time politician. Like its editor, Philotheos was initially based at the Philosophy Faculty in Nikšić (Montenegro), but since 2006 it has been produced at the Faculty of Orthodox Theology at the University of Belgrade. Although closely associated with the Serbian Orthodox Church, Philotheos publishes articles of philosophical and theological interest in the Christian tradition broadly construed. Indeed, Philotheos offers an unusually broad forum for ecumenical exchange. It publishes contributions in many European languages that do not usually appear side by side, such as English, French, German, Greek, and Russian. The journal has managed to attract contributions from many well-known academics both in Europe and North America. Given its Orthodox leanings, Philotheos has a certain focus on the Neoplatonic tradition in philosophy and theology, but it has carried articles on many other topics.
Philotheos mainly publishes articles; book reviews are more rare. It appears in one annual volume of between 300 and 500 pages. Since 2004, each volume contains a complete table of contents for all the issues that have appeared so far.
Famous quotes containing the words journal, philosophy and/or theology:
“The Journal is not essentially a confession, a story about oneself. It is a Memorial. What does the writer have to remember? Himself, who he is when he is not writing, when he is living his daily life, when he alive and real, and not dying and without truth.”
—Maurice Blanchot (b. 1907)
“Mr. Alcott seems to have sat down for the winter. He has got Plato and other books to read. He is as large-featured and hospitable to traveling thoughts and thinkers as ever; but with the same Connecticut philosophy as ever, mingled with what is better. If he would only stand upright and toe the line!—though he were to put off several degrees of largeness, and put on a considerable degree of littleness. After all, I think we must call him particularly your man.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Only men of moral and mental force, of a patriotic regard for the relationship of the two races, can be of real service as ministers in the South. Less theology and more of human brotherhood, less declamation and more common sense and love for truth, must be the qualifications of the new ministry that shall yet save the race from the evils of false teaching.”
—Fannie Barrier Williams (1855–1944)
