Labyrinth: An International Journal for Philosophy, Value Theory and Sociocultural Hermeneutics

Aims & Scope

About the Journal Focus and Scope Labyrinth is a journal of the Institute for Axiological Research / Institut für Axiologische Forschungen , founded in 1999 in Vienna. It was first published as an online review and later as printed volumes and special issues. It is actually both a printed academic journal, available for purchase, and an electronic open-access journal. We are actually working to make all past issues available online in the archives. As a nonpartisan philosophical and interdisciplinary journal, Labyrinth is engaged in the publication of high-quality peer-reviewed academic articles, critical essays, interviews, and book reviews. Although it is focused on the philosophy and theory of values and their sociocultural contexts, it is also open to related topics and inquiries in all fields of the humanities and the social sciences with a special emphasis on critical thinking, social controversies and conflict resolution, interfaith dialogue, intercultural and cross-cultural communication, gender studies, and managing diversity. Labyrinth is a bi-annual Platinum Open Access journal , i.e., there are no author fees for publication (for the online and printed editions) nor reader fees/subscription fees. However, the Publishers don't offer free hard copies to the authors. Peer Review Process Labyrinth utilises the policy of double-blind blind review . In a first step or first screening -- especially if the author is unknown and/or does not submit an invited paper -- the manuscript will be carefully considered by editors and evaluators in view of the journal's topics, style, and guidelines. If it fits the CFP, topics, style, the guidelines, and in some cases also the special requirements of the issue, the manuscript will be blind reviewed by two qualified specialists, and the author will receive feedback within three months. NB: The Journal accepts only manuscripts which are unpublished and not currently under review for any other printed or electronic publicatio
