The aim of the series is to illuminate and interpret lines of development in political thought from antiquity to modernity from a systematic and historical perspective. In a systematic comparison of influential thinkers from antiquity, modern times and modernity, traditional categories of interpretation of political thought in Europe are to be researched and reflected upon. The guiding pairs of opposites are, on the one hand, the interplay of tension between principle-oriented normativity and, on the other, the centre of gravity of power, state and social order. The series sees itself as a platform for works that deal with the ethical, social, ecological and economic challenges of the 21st century from a philosophical, historical and political-theoretical/normative perspective.

This series addresses the relationship between culture and society throughout the course of history. It deals with the significance of culture for the implementation of and changes to social orders.

It not only welcomes contributions from the fields of culture and history, but also those from related disciplines, all of which can be written in either German or English.
