Parrhesia: a journal of critical philosophy
Last date for paper submission: Sat, 01 Sep 2007
Parrhesia is a journal that aims to gather a range of thinkers to examine the intersections between questions of subjectivity, politics, ethics, aesthetics and truth, intersections which both theoretically and practically form the critical points in our culture and in our time. As Walter Benjamin suggests it is these “perilous critical moments” upon which the very act of reading, writing and thinking must be based.
Parrhesia is affiliated with the Departments of English and Philosophy at the University of Melbourne, and with the Melbourne School of Continental Philosophy. The journal will be published twice a year in June and November
At this stage the submissions are directly solicited by the editors, however from September 2007 we will be taking more general submissions. If you would like to propose a paper, please send a 250 word abstract to one of the editors.
Parrhesia: a journal of critical philosophy
editors: Matthew Sharpe, Alex Murray, Jon Roffe
Michel Foucault’s last works tell us that parrhesia is the act of fearlessly speaking the truth.To engage in parrhesia is never, however, a neutral act. Parrhesia simultaneously incorporates aesthetic and ethical dimensions. The parrhesiast is someone whose fidelity to the truth
becomes the pivot of a process of self-transformation.
