PresentationThe Philosophical Journal of Conflict and Violence (PJCV) is devoted to fostering discussion at the interface of philosophy, psychiatry, psychology, anthropology and political theory. The journal welcomes original articles providing philosophical insights about topics such as conflict, war, crime, and aggression. The PJCV encompasses contributions from the history of philosophy to more interdisciplinary studies. Specifically, the main ambition of the journal is to form a database on the conceptual, metaphysical, ethical and epistemological issues related to past and contemporary phenomena of violence.The PJCV is double-blind peer-reviewed and published bi-annually in May and December. In order to avoid thematic fuzziness, each issue will begin with a focus section featuring contributions addressing a specific topic. The subjects are announced in advance in each issue&#8217;s call for papers. Besides, the open section of the journal provides a place for general contributions to conflict and violence. The editors encourage critical discussions involving a wide range of disciplines. The requirements are clarity of expression and rigorous argumentation.PJCV welcomes submissions throughout the year on subjects related to the scope of the journal (non-binding to special issues): philosophy, psychiatry, psychology, anthropology, political theory, conflict, war, crime, aggression, etc.Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:Interactions to the extreme, past and presentRevolution in military thinking in Clausewitz&#8217;s workTowards a social-philosophy of war based on Clausewitz&#8217;s conceptualization of violenceClausewitz and education (Education as philosophy &#8211; Clausewitz, Schiller, enlightenment and romanticism)Hybridity, paradoxes, wondrous trinity and the dialectics of defense and offenseClausewitz and his exchange with FichtePlato and Clausewitz (about the causes of war?)Clausewitz and the rational of probability and chanceAre there rules for orchestrating hybridity in warfare?
