Aims & Scope

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.

  • 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.
