Open Access Journal: Peitho: Exa­mina Anti­qua

PEITHO / Exa­mina Anti­qua is an inter­na­tio­nal jour­nal devo­ted to the inve­sti­ga­tion of ancient Greek, Roman and Byzan­tine tho­ught. Foun­ded in May 2010, the jour­nal is edi­ted by the Insti­tute of Phi­lo­so­phy at Adam Mic­kiewcz Uni­ver­sity in Poland.

PEITHO publi­shes rese­arch papers and short notes in the fields of phi­lo­so­phy, lite­ra­ture, history and lan­gu­age. The lan­gu­ages of publi­ca­tion are English, French, Ger­man, Ita­lian, Latin and Polish.

The deci­sion to esta­blish an inter­na­tio­nal scho­larly jour­nal for the study of ancient tho­ught and its recep­tion has been promp­ted by the desire to esta­blish a com­mon gro­und for a fru­it­ful exchange of views between various Hel­le­ni­sts and to sti­mu­late the debate on the ancient roots of our continent.

Evi­den­tly, Greek phi­lo­so­phy is one of the stron­gest foun­da­tions of Euro­pean cul­tu­ral iden­tity. Con­se­qu­en­tly, the jour­nal aims to show this immense intel­lec­tual heri­tage. While PEITHO focu­ses on reve­aling the ancient sour­ces of ideas that are fun­da­men­tal to modern Europe, the credo of the jour­nal is that without under­stan­ding the ori­gins of these ideas it is vir­tu­ally impos­si­ble to under­stand our con­ti­nent in its pre­sent shape.
