The inaugural problem of the Philosophy of the Metropolis Journal was printed not too long ago.
[Stuart Davis, “New York Mural”]
The journal (previously) is a venture of the Philosophy of the City Research Group. In an introduction to the difficulty, editors Taylor Stone (College of Bonn) & Marian Counihan (College of Groningen) write:
During the last 10 years, this group has organised an annual collection of conferences and summer season colloquia, along with a wide range of particular points and edited volumes, all of which have furnished new conceptual foundations, methodological approaches, and sensible case research. And but, regardless of the quantity and vigour of our scholarly lower and thrust, the Analysis Group and its neighborhood have to this point been and not using a widespread venue to have these conversations. A devoted journal was lengthy overdue. The Philosophy of the Metropolis Journal is thus born of the necessity to construct on and consolidate this new philosophical custom, providing a venue for authentic analysis into the philosophy of town.
We conceive of the philosophy of town as a set of issues and not using a canon: issues about(however under no circumstances restricted to) the ontology of cities, city aesthetics, city applied sciences, inclusivity, public house, justice, and political expression. In in search of to assist reply these issues, philosophers of town contribute analyses of urbanism, metropolis life, city planning, city design, infrastructures, and many different issues apart from. These analyses themselves contribute to our correct understanding and analysis of cities of their myriad of kinds. These analyses are very important for every kind of good causes. Cities will not be solely locations the place philosophy occurs. They’re additionally, more and more, the place the place most human life occurs. Because the world continues to urbanise, cities now perform because the loci for the social, political, and ecological challenges of the twenty first century. There’s a want to use the instruments and approaches of philosophical inquiry to town as each an actual and imagined phenomenon, to processes of urbanisation, and to the particular dynamics and challenges of various cities particularly.
