Aims & Scope

In contrast to existing journals that deal with the phenomenon of digitization alongside other technological phenomena, the focus of "Philosophy & Digitality" is specifically on the philosophical significance of digitization and its dimensions in the humanities, cultural studies, and media studies, as well as on aesthetic, ethical, political, ontological, and epistemic dimensions. Phenomena of digitalization such as artificial intelligence, the Internet or metaverse, computer games, but also the symbolic nature of the digital as well as code structures and recent technologies such as blockchain are at the center of interest. Furthermore, forms and methods of digitized research procedures, such as in the Digital Humanities, will be reflected from a philosophical perspective.

 

Reviewing

"Philosophy & Digitality" is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal. For regular issues, two reviews per paper are provided by the Scientific Advisory Board of the journal. For special issues, the reviewing process will be organised by the editors of the special issues. There has to be a peer-review which fullfills scientific standards but the editorial team of the journal is open for various reviewing models (like single-blind or open-peer reviewing).
