Public Reason is a peer-reviewed journal of political and moral philosophy.  Public Reason publishes articles, book reviews, as well as discussion notes from all the fields of political philosophy and ethics, including political theory, applied ethics, and legal philosophy. The Journal encourages the debate around rationality in politics and ethics in the larger context of the discussion concerning rationality as a philosophical problem.

Public Reason is committed to a pluralistic approach, promoting interdisciplinary and original perspectives as long as the ideal of
critical arguing and clarity is respected. The journal is intended for the international philosophical community, as well as for a broader public
interested in political and moral philosophy. It aims to promote philosophical exchanges with a special emphasis on issues in, and
discussions on the Eastern European space.

Starting from 2010 Public Reason publishes two issues per year, in June and December. Public Reason is an open access e-journal, but it is also
available in print.

Dana Jalobeanu, ed. Casa lui Solomon sau fascinaţia utopiei. Ştiinţă, religie şi politică în Anglia secolului al  XVII-lea, ALL 2011

 

Casa lu Solomon: o misterioasă Frăţie a Luminii care produce, administrează şi păstrează cunoaştere, împletind tehnologia barocă cu ştiinţa experimentală, moralitatea stoică cu religia revelată şi modelul platonician al regelui filosof cu rolul pedagogului umanist. Jumătate societate secretă, jumătate institut de cercetare, Casa lui Solomon – invenţia literată a unui autor foarte critic la adresa literaturii – a reprezentat, în Anglia secolului al XVIi-lea, un model de urmat pentru diverse proiecte de reformă politică, religioasă sau ştiinţifică.

Volumul editat de Dana Jalobeanu este rezultatul unui proiect colectiv de cercetare care şi-a propus să descopere, să traducă şi să comenteze unele dintre cele mai cunoscute „continuări” ale Noii Atlantide publicate în Anglia secolului al XVII-lea. Multe dintre textele cuprinse în acest volum – astăzi complet uitate-  au fost esenţiale pentru constituirea unor domenii centrale ale gândirii moderne. Ele dau seama în acelaşi timp de fascinaţia exercitată de proiectul baconian şi de neobişnuitele interacţiuni prezente în gândirea secolului al XVII-lea între ştiinţă, religie şi politică.
