Special issue: space philosophy and space ethics

date: February 15th, 2021
Studia Humana special issue on space philosophy and space ethics

Editor: Konrad Szocik
Interdisciplinary journal Studia Humana invites contributors interested in space philosophy and space ethics to send paper proposals. Space philosophy/philosophy of space missions/philosophy of space exploration is a very interdisciplinary discipline. Despite this natural interdisciplinarity, we invite you to submit papers exposing philosophical and ethical elements rather than, for example, other elements relevant to space exploration such as political, economic or medical. Suggested topics may include – but are not limited to – issues such as:
- Rationale for space missions
- New issues in environmental ethics for space
- The value of scientific exploration of space
- SETI/METI
- Space bioethics (human enhancement, human reproduction in space, and others)
- Methodological and conceptual issues (what distinguishes, if anything, space philosophy/space bioethics/space environmental ethics from their Earth-based counterparts?)

Authors are asked to send their papers until the end of August 2021 to the following e-mail address: konrad-szocik@wp.pl
Accepted papers are scheduled for publication in 4 issue 2021 (December), with the possibility of some texts being published in 1 issue 2022 (February), while all finally accepted papers may be published prior to assignment to the issue as early view.

date: September 25th, 2020
We are happy to inform our readers that Studia Humana website has an early view option. Now papers accepted for publication are available online before inclusion in an issue.


Special issue: Covid-19 pandemic as a global catastrophic risk

date: April 6th, 2020
The current alarming global situation caused by the Covid-19 pandemic should be a good opportunity for scientists and philosophers to discuss not only scientific, but also social, philosophical or ethical challenges caused by the pandemic. For instance, in many countries there were introduced significant limitations of our freedoms because of the quarantine. The special issue of the journal Studia Humana is focused on publishing contributions which discuss broad social, philosophical and ethical issues connected with the risk of pandemic today. Mostly we are going to discuss recent and forecasted social impacts of different pandemics, but first of all some impacts of Covid-19 as a kind of global catastrophic risk. All possible philosophical reflections on this idea are welcome.

Special Issue: Evolutionary perspectives on atheism/unbelief (deadline: 31 December 2018)

date: June 7th, 2018
Evolutionary perspectives on atheism/unbelief

Despite increasing secularization and a decreasing role played by institutionalized religions in the western world, many scholars within the study of religion – from history through sociology and evolutionary accounts – continue to focus their inquiries on the study of the religious, without giving much attention to non-believers. There are few evolutionary explanations of atheism, and those that exist are either under-developed or investigate atheism through the lens and default starting position of religious belief. An example of this is the Cognitive Science of Religion (CSR), since even though many scholars are working towards an evolutionary paradigm for atheism, a widely established Cognitive Science of Atheism does not yet exist, so studies of cognition and atheism fall within CSR.
We would like to invite scholars interested in the evolutionary study of atheism (including unbelief, nonbelief, agnosticism, etc.) to submit their paper proposals to the special issue of the “Studia Humana” journal published by De Gruyter (affiliate at the Department of Philosophy and Cognitive Science at the University of Information Technology and Management in Rzeszow, Poland). We are going to consider, among others, the following topics:
- Critical evaluations of CSR and other literatures that approach nonbelief as an irregularity
- Atheism as an adaptation/feature of evolution
- Atheism in the light of bio-behavioral and epidemiological theories of culture
- Atheism in the light of gene-culture co-evolutionary approaches
- Atheism as a default or alternate human cognitive mode
- The atheistic worldview being an evolutionary source of morality
- Atheism as group and/or individual level adaptation
- Ultimate causes of atheism
- The evolutionary functions of atheism
Note: Atheism is being used as a blanket-term here for any studies dealing with the religiously unaffiliated, unbelievers, non-believers, and to a lesser extent, agnostics. If your work falls within these boundaries, please feel free to send us a proposed article.
All interested authors are welcome to send a summary in the form of an abstract by the end of June. Papers should be submitted by the end of December to messickk@uni.coventry.ac.uk. Please include “Studia Humana Special Issue” in the title of the email. We anticipate the special issue entering press around the beginning of 2019.

Physarum Chip: Growing Computers from Slime Mould

date: October 18th, 2013
The central aim of the project is to build functional biomorphic computing devices operated by the slime mould Physarum polycephalum. We envisage that research and development centred on novel computing substrates, as self-assembled and fault-tolerant networks will lead to a revolution in the bio-electronics and computer industry. Combined with conventional electronic components in a hybrid chip, Physarum networks will radically improve the performance of digital and analog circuits.

"Studies in Talmudic Logic" is the series edited by Michael Abraham, Dov Gabbay and Uri Schild. The Talmud is the most comprehensive and fundamental work of Jewish religious law, employing a large number of logical components centuries a ahead of their time. In many cases the basic principles are not explicitly formulated, which makes it difficult to formalize and make available to the modern student of Logic.
