Fermenta philosophica

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fermenta philosophica is a book series that has been published by Verlag Karl Alber , Freiburg / Munich, since 1974 . It brings philosophical studies and drafts that show ways of thinking. The point is to give the theses-like essay, the polished pamphlet, the future-oriented work fragment, the "out of date consideration" a forum to serve innovation and initiate discussions. Since its founding by Meinolf Wewel, criteria for inclusion in the series have been “in addition to the quality and level of reflection, the creativity and originality of the work, regardless of whether or not you want to strictly comply with the rules of the scientific community”.

The title of the series is based on the "Fermenta cognitionis" published by Franz von Baader from 1822, which he regarded as a "turning point in previous philosophy", and its last (sixth) issue in 1825 full of "fermenting fantasies" and with "polemical discussions against the philosophy of time ”appeared. The title is also reminiscent of Lessing's remark in the 95th piece of the “Hamburger Dramaturgie” that he wanted to “spread nothing but fermenta cognitionis” and of Bloch's remark about Hegel that his language “ferments like cider”.

45 volumes have been published by 2011, including by Munasu Duala-M'bedy , Leonard H. Ehrlich , Walter Falk , Ferdinand Fellmann , Ute Guzzoni , Norbert Hinske , Harald Holz , Wolfgang Kluxen , MAC Otto , Gerold Prauss , Wolfgang Schirmacher , Ilmar Tammelo .
