The Collegium Politicum is an international research network focusing on Ancient Political Theory and its reception in the history of political thought. Founded by Francisco L. Lisi in 2000, the network organizes annual meetings of its members who mostly teach at European Universities from several different countries. There are a wide range of activities and cooperation among the members such as joint workshops, international conferences, joint publications, and exchanges of faculty and graduate or doctoral students as well as post-doctoral researchers. Our book series is not only open for publications of our members and annual meetings, but to all innovative and high-quality contributions on Classical Political Thought and its reception. We welcome contributions from both accomplished scholars and young researchers at the beginning of their career. The latter includes outstanding Ph.D.-theses and “Habilitationsschriften”. Proposals submitted to the editors are subjected to a double-blind peer review and need to be accepted by the editorial board.

As a social and political phenomenon, antisemitism has been and continues to be structured in multiple dimensions and found in almost every social context. Therefore, esearch into the structures, contexts and dynamics of antisemitism cannot be restricted to any one specific discipline, theoretical construct, avenue of research, or methodology - just as antisemitism itself obeys no such restrictions. The "Interdisciplinary Studies on Antisemitism" series will address this plurality, presenting a broad spectrum of research from the social sciences, cultural studies and the humanities, thus contributing to a deeper understanding of antisemitism.

The volumes in this series introduce the central fields of application of social work and its related disciplines in a practical and understandable way and convey the field’s basic study contents for prospective social workers and social pedagogues. The consistent focus on problems and the didactic preparation of the volumes’ individual chapters facilitate access to their specialist content. The series is ideally suited to exam preparation, e.g. through summaries, knowledge and comprehension questions as well as diagrams and thematic cross-references.

Concern for oneself, for others and for the environment plays a significant role in both individuals’ lives and social institutions. This series publishes studies which explain the various dimensions of the concept of concern from the point of view of theology, social theory, cultural hermeneutics, anthropology or normative ethics and, where appropriate, attempt to critically evaluate or justify them. Starting from this specific field of research but also taking into account possible links to other subject areas, the studies in this series examine relevant epistemological and practical perspectives found in the interplay between the factuality, limitation and unleashing of concern. Their aim in doing this is to address the questions of how concern manifests itself as an existential constant among humans today and which methods can be employed to deal with it. In this respect, the editors welcome studies from a variety of fields and in different languages for publication in this series.

Law and religions shape societies in many respects. The series Recht und Religionen is dedicated to the complex and ambivalent relationship between law and religious communities and denominations in the past, present and future. In order to do justice to this diversity of topics, the series combines expert contributions by renowned authors written from an inter- or transdisciplinary perspective. All disciplines with a close or broad connection to the topic are addressed: in addition to the relevant disciplines of law, theology, religious studies and philosophy, these include sociology, cultural studies, history, political science, education and art studies. Only in this way can the Recht und Religionen series live up to its goal and high standard of documenting the research fields of law and religions from multiple perspectives and in an up-to-date manner, as well as presenting new perspectives and research approaches to a broad audience.
