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:
“How truly does this journal contain my real and undisguised thoughts—I always write it according to the humour I am in, and if a stranger was to think it worth reading, how capricious—insolent & whimsical I must appear!—one moment flighty and half mad,—the next sad and melancholy. No matter! Its truth and simplicity are its sole recommendations.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“I am still a learner, not a teacher, feeding somewhat omnivorously, browsing both stalk and leaves; but I shall perhaps be enabled to speak with more precision and authority by and by,—if philosophy and sentiment are not buried under a multitude of details.”
—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)
