Metaphysica

期刊简介：The journal Metaphysica is published semi-annually. The editors aim to create an international forum of ontology and metaphysics for readers all over the world. In the Anglo-Saxon countries (in particular the USA and Australia) the volume of research publications in ontology and metaphysics significantly increased during the last two decades. European philosophers, on the other hand, initially seemed reticent to address ontological and metaphysical topics, undoubtedly due to deeply rooted Kantian ideas about the "end of metaphysics." Since the nineties, however, sentiments have changed in favour of a new "ontological turn" within Central European philosophy. In Austria, Switzerland, and Germany an increasing number of philosophical publications present systematic treatments of ontologi cal and metaphysical issues. At the same time there is a new strong interest in reviewing historical contributions to ontology and metaphysics, from Parmenides to Plato, Aristotle, Occam, Leibniz and further to Brentano, Husserl, and Nicolai Hartmann. Since there is no other European journal devoted to the discussion of ontological and metaphysical issues in particular, the editors found it necessary to fill this gap by founding the journal Metaphysica.

【译文】《形而上学》杂志每半年出版一次。编辑们的目标是为世界各地的读者创建一个本体论和形而上学的国际论坛。在盎格鲁撒克逊国家（特别是美国和澳大利亚），本体论和形而上学的研究出版物数量在过去二十年显着增加。另一方面，欧洲哲学家最初似乎不愿讨论本体论和形而上学的话题，这无疑是由于根深蒂固的康德关于“形而上学的终结”的思想。然而，自九十年代以来，人们的情绪发生了变化，转而支持中欧哲学中新的“本体论转向”。在奥地利、瑞士和德国，越来越多的哲学出版物对本体论和形而上学问题进行了系统的处理。与此同时，人们对回顾本体论和形而上学的历史贡献产生了新的浓厚兴趣，从巴门尼德到柏拉图、亚里士多德、奥卡姆、莱布尼茨，再到布伦塔诺、胡塞尔和尼古拉·哈特曼。由于没有其他欧洲期刊专门专门讨论本体论和形而上学问题，编辑们发现有必要通过创办《形而上学》杂志来填补这一空白。
