Las Torres de Lucca

Las Torres de Lucca International Journal of Political Philosophy www.lastorresdelucca.org We are pleased to announce the second issue (Nº1) of the New International Journal of Political Philosophy Las Torres de Lucca (The Towers of Luca) edited and published by the Universidad Complutense of Madrid. Las Torres de Lucca is an electronic peer reviewed journal of political philosophy whose main aim is to give voice to contemporary concerns in political and economic philosophy. We want to offer a platform to rethink our political institutions and their competencies; to redefine our goals and means in a complex outgrowing environment. We want to discuss the ethical commitments and responsibilities of economic institutions; to integrate the public opinion in the different EU States; to open a forum to discuss the role of democracy in strong religiously tainted nations. And, of course, we are open to all related theoretic topics in the political arena and other intertwined fields (political economy, philosophy of history, psychology, sociology and, to a lesser extent, other sciences). It is a theoretic publication with a strong practical concern. The journal is directed towards the academic environment and designed for the specialized reader; but the publication also aspires to awaken the interest in the reader who is not technically formed in these disciplines, but is interested by the public questions that inevitably affect them. The scope of the journal will be international. Articles will be published in Spanish and English and original articles in French, Portuguese, Italian, or German will be accepted as exceptions (depending on quality and relevance), translated into Spanish or English and published in a bilingual format. We invite the submission of articles in electronic format for our next issue, to come out in January 2013, thus fulfilling our commitment to biannual publication. The papers should be addressed to editorial@lastorresdelucca.org. For further information please see our website. The contents of the second issue Nº 1 are: Citizenship and the market economy.
