Presentazione
The Journal for the Philosophy of Language, Mind and the Arts is an online, biannual, periodical journal, published by Edizioni Ca’ Foscari Digital Publishing.The Journal is the expression of an active research group based at the Department of Philosophy and Cultural Heritage of Ca’ Foscari University, in Venice (Italy). The same group of scholars previously founded a research centre called CLAVeS, which currently gathers the scientific activities (seminars, conferences, meetings, etc.) that its members hold in Venice. The research topics this Journal investigates stand between Philosophy of Language, Philosophy of Mind, Aesthetics, and Philosophy of Art. Hence, the Journal is intended to offer a chance to develop a thorough and interdisciplinary research (in terms of both interrelations and exchanges within the international scientific community. Furthermore, the Journal is set to provide the opportunity to discuss several theoretical issues, which lie at the core of contemporary philosophical and scientific debate. No particular school or theoretical orientation as well as attitude is excluded a priori. Indeed, contributors are asked to hold an open perspective without any dogmatism, as well as due rigour of argumentation and thematic choices, in order to abide by the richness and variety of theoretical approaches and visions. The Journal is recognised as a scientific journal for areas 10 (Ancient, philological-literary and historical-artistic sciences) and 11 (Historical, philosophical, pedagogical and psychological sciences) by the National Agency for the Evaluation of the University System and Research.

- Habits Between Sensibility and Action. Rethinking the Double Law of Habit
- Roberta Dreon, Marco Piazza
- 12 Dicembre 2025
The current issue emerges from a collaborative research context on the philosophy of habits. It is part of a wider project supported by the Italian Ministry of University, entitled Habits (in Time) of Crisis. Conceptual Tools for Dealing with Disruptive Events (PRIN 2022), and is situated among the numerous scholarly activities carried out by the Interuniversity Centre for Habit Studies, known as PhilHabits. It is within this context that the idea of revisiting the so-called double law of habits first emerged. The idea of reconsidering this subject originally arose from a conversation between the authors of this preface and the editors of the current issue. The comparison of different viewpoints and theoretical frameworks revealed that such an exchange can generate crises – large or small – in our habitual ways of thinking, and that these crises can be potentially productive.

CALL FOR PAPERS (JOLMA 7 | 1 | 2026)
Spinoza on Language
Editor: Emanuela Scribano
Although not systematic, Spinoza’s investigation on the origin, function, and cognitive value of language is present in all of his works. In TIE, KV, and E, language is linked to imagination and inadequate knowledge. In E, language also becomes the example par excellence of the association of ideas, therefore of memory and imaginative knowledge. Dependent on the association between bodily affections, the sign-meaning connection does not express the essence of things and can vary according to individual experiences. For this reason, the same word does not necessarily correspond to the same meaning. Moreover, a word does not always correspond to an idea, perhaps inadequate, but susceptible to univocal definition, as is the case of words that express universal notions. In cases of extreme philosophical importance, Spinoza considers language to directly express the most common prejudices. In all these texts, language proves to be the instrument of communication in the absence of adequate ideas, and an organ of expression of imaginative knowledge. If language is the repository of the errors of the imagination, philosophy must first address the beliefs deposited in linguistic uses, and second, try to oppose them. In doing so, however, it is forced to use the same language modeled on inadequate knowledge. The problem of expressing true ideas through language gave rise to opposite interpretations by D. Savan (“Spinoza and Language”, The Philosophical Review, 1958) and G. H. R Parkinson, “Language and knowledge in Spinoza.” Inquiry: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Philosophy, 1969), and was recently taken up again by Celine Hervet, De l’imagination à l’entendement: la puissance du langage chez Spinoza, Paris, Garnier 2012. Although the analysis of errors related to language invites a close comparison with other contemporary theories of language, such as that of Thomas Hobbes, this subject has not received much attention in studies devoted to Spinoza’s theory of language.
The analysis of language in the TTP and in the Hebrew Grammar is different in purpose from the analysis carried out in other works. In TTP, it is not a question of bringing out the inadequacy of the ideas that correspond to ordinary language, but of identifying exactly the meanings of the Hebrew language, whether they are adequate ideas or not. By ignoring the linguistic habits of Hebrew, one risks attributing to the speakers and to the words used by the authors meanings and intentions that were not those of the authors themselves. The philosophical implications of Hebrew Grammar are rarely discussed by the scholars, but this work deserves a deep investigation as an example of scientific study of a language. The Italian translation of the Compendium of Hebrew Grammar, edited by Pina Totaro (Firenze, Olschki 2012) encourages to delve deeper into this aspect of Spinoza's thought. Finally, the political use of language underlined in TTP deserves closer attention, as Laurent Bove has suggested (L. Bove, “L’Enseignement philosophique”, La théorie du langage chez Spinoza 1991).
This journal issue aims to expand our knowledge of Spinoza's views on language, its cognitive function, its role in orienting beliefs, its cultural meaning, its relationship with truth and with different cultural contexts. Contributions may address one or more topics related to this Call and focus on Spinoza's works, his relationship with contemporary or antecedent theories of language, his reception, or his relevance to present-day philosophical debates.

Ethical Code of The Journal for the Philosophy of Language, Mind and the Arts
The Journal for the Philosophy of Language, Mind and the Arts is a peer-reviewed scientific journal whose policy is inspired by the COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) Ethical Code. See the Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors.
Publisher’s responsibilities
The Publisher must provide the Journal with adequate resources and the guidance of experts, in order to carry out its role in the most professional way, aiming at the highest quality standard.
The Publisher must have a written agreement that defines the relationship with the owner of the Journal and/or the Editor-in-Chief. The agreement must comply with the Code of Behavior for Publishers of Scientific Journals, as established by COPE.
The relationship among the Editor-in-Chief, the Advisory Board and the Publisher is based on the principle of publishing independence.
Editors’ responsibilities
The Editor-in-Chief and the Advisory Board of The Journal for the Philosophy of Language, Mind and the Arts alone are responsible for the decision to publish the articles submitted.
Submitted articles, after having been checked for plagiarism by means of the anti-plagiarism software Compilatio that is used by the University and is made available to us, will be sent to at least two reviewers. Final acceptance presumes the implementation of possible amendments, as required by the reviewers and under the supervision of The Journal for the Philosophy of Language, Mind and the Arts Editor-in-Chief.
The Journal for the Philosophy of Language, Mind and the Arts Editor-in-Chief and Advisory Board must evaluate each submitted paper in compliance with the Journalʼs policy, i.e. exclusively on the basis of its scientific content, without discrimination of race, sex, gender, creed, ethnic origin, citizenship, or the scientific, academic and political position of the Authors.
Allegations of misconduct
If The Journal for the Philosophy of Language, Mind and the Arts Editor-in-Chief and Advisory Board notice (or receive notifications of) mistakes or inaccuracies, conflict of interest or plagiarism in a published article, they will immediately warn the Author and the Publisher and will undertake the necessary actions to resolve the issue. They will do their best to correct the published content whenever they are informed that it contains scientific errors or that the authors have committed unethical or illegal acts in connection with their published work. If necessary, they will withdraw the article or publish a recantation.
All complaints are handled in accordance with the guidelines published by the COPE.
Concerns and complaints must be addressed to the following e-mail ecf_support@unive.it. The letter should contain the following information:
- complainant’s personal information;
- title, author(s), publication date, DOI;
- complaint(s);
- declaration that the complainant has no conflict of interest, or declaration of an actual or potential conflict of interest.
Authors’ responsibilities
Stylesheet
Authors must follow the Guidelines for Authors to be downloaded from The Journal for the Philosophy of Language, Mind and the Arts website.
Authors must explicitly state that their work is original in all its parts and that the submitted paper has not been previously published, nor submitted to other journals, until the entire evaluation process is completed. Since no paper gets published without significant revision, earlier dissemination in conference proceedings or working papers does not preclude consideration for publication, but Authors are expected to fully disclose publication/dissemination of the material in other closely related publications, so that the overlap can be evaluated by The Journal for the Philosophy of Language, Mind and the Arts Editor-in-Chief.
Authorship
Authors are strongly encouraged to use their ORCID iD when submitting a manuscript. This will ensure the authors’ visibility and correct citation of their work.
Authorship must be correctly attributed; all those who have given a substantial contribution to the design, organisation and accomplishment of the research the article is based on, must be indicated as Co-Authors. Please ensure that: the order of the author names is correct; the names of all authors are present and correctly spelled, and that affiliations are up-to-date.
The respective roles of each co-author should be described in a footnote. The statement that all authors have approved the final version should be included in the disclosure.
Conflicts of interest and financing
Authors, under their own responsibility, must avoid any conflict of interest affecting the results obtained or the interpretations suggested. The Journal for the Philosophy of Language, Mind and the Arts Editor-in-Chief will give serious and careful consideration to suggestions of cases in which, due to possible conflict of interest, an Author’s work should not be reviewed by a specific scholar. Authors should indicate any financing agency or the project the article stems from.
Quotations
Authors must see to it that all works consulted be properly quoted. If works or words of others are used, they have to be properly paraphrased or duly quoted. Quotations between “double quotes” (or «angled quotation marks» if the text is written in a language other than English) must reproduce the exact wording of the source; under their own responsibility, Authors should carefully refrain from disguising a restyling of the source’s wording, as though it was the original formulation.
Any form of excessive, inappropriate or unnecessary self-citation, as well as any other form of citation manipulation, are strongly discouraged.
Ethical Committee
Whenever required, the research protocols must be authorised in advance by the Ethical Committee of Ca’ Foscari University of Venice.
Emendations
When Authors find a mistake or an inaccuracy in their own article, they must immediately warn The Journal for the Philosophy of Language, Mind and the Arts Editor-in-Chief, providing all the information needed to make the due adjustments.
Reviewers’ responsibilities
Goal
By means of the peer-review procedure, reviewers assist The Journal for the Philosophy of Language, Mind and the Arts Editor-in-Chief and Advisory Board in taking decisions on the articles submitted. They are expected to offer the Authors suggestions as to possible adjustments aimed at improving their contribution submission.
Timing and conflicts of interest
If a reviewer does not feel up to the task of doing a given review, or if she/he is unable to read the work within the agreed schedule, she/he should notify The Journal for the Philosophy of Language, Mind and the Arts Editor-in-Chief. Reviewers must not accept articles for which there is a conflict of interest due to previous contributions or to a competition with a disclosed author (or with an author they believe to have identified).
Confidentiality
The content of the reviewed work must be considered confidential and must not be used without explicit authorisation by the Author, who is to be contacted via the editor-in-chief. Any confidential information obtained during the peer review process should not be used for other purposes.
Collaborative attitude
Reviewers should see themselves not as adversaries but as advocates for the field. Any comment must be done in a collaborative way and from an objective point of view. Reviewers should clearly motivate their comments and keep in mind the Golden Rule of Reviewing: “Review for others as you would have others review for you”.
Plagiarism
Reviewers should report any similarity or overlapping of the work under analysis with other works known to them.
