Aim & Scope

AJP aims to understand and explain the relationship between philosophy and life and to produce international scientific publications that will discuss how life and thought have influenced each other throughout history.

The Journal of Anatolian Philosophy (AJP) is a journal that publishes original and qualified articles, interviews, discussions and papers based on academic, scientific and research in the field of philosophy.

Having started its publication life by adopting the idea that “Experiences are the premises of thoughts”, AJP sees philosophy as an activity intertwined with life. Even though in philosophy, metaphysics or utopian thoughts that transcend reality have been put forward with speculation based on reason, these thoughts are ultimately based on the philosophers’ own life experiences and observations. Therefore, although philosophical thought sometimes transcends reality in a speculative and abstract way, it ultimately originates from the reality and authenticity of life. However, philosophical thought is also an attempt to organize and shape life.
Although it is transcendent to reality, it somehow affects the reality of life. In this context, the aim of the journal is to publish studies that will reveal how life and thought have influenced each other throughout history. In this context, articles that show the relationship between a philosopher's thought and life and experience, that reveal the effects or possible effects of a philosopher's thoughts on life (the period in which he lived or today), that discuss different ideas developed on a problem and the effects of these ideas on the problem will be accepted for evaluation. The journal will include original research articles, critiques, interviews, unpublished papers and translations prepared in line with this purpose and scope.

The studies to be sent to the journal must be prepared in accordance with the purpose, scope and content specified below.

 Studies discussing how philosophical accumulation will contribute to the understanding and solution of current problems. In other words, studies discussing thoughts caused by a reality or realities shaped by thoughts.
 Studies explaining the relationship between a philosopher's thought and historical, social, economic etc. conditions that shape his thought.
 Studies discussing the contributions that a philosopher has made or will potentially make to the understanding and solution of various problems in the fields of education, culture, justice, ethics etc. or the reality shaped and influenced by his thoughts.
 Studies discussing the philosophical thought necessary for the understanding and solution of current problems.
 Studies discussing the problems that will arise in the future under the guidance of philosophical thought.
 Studies introducing new original thoughts caused by problems specific to the era or region.

The purpose of the study to be addressed in line with the specified themes must be clearly stated both in the abstract and in the introduction of the study. From now on, this purpose should be discussed in the development section and conclusion section based on the way the subject is handled. Studies that discuss purely theoretical ideas that do not include the intertwining of life and thought will not be evaluated.
