Call for Papers

Diakrisis: Yearbook of Theology and Philosophy, Vol. 8 (2025).
“Holiness and Wisdom”

The upcoming issue of Diakrisis invites scholars, theologians, and philosophers to contribute to the theme “Holiness and Wisdom.” This issue seeks to explore the deep and complex relationship between wisdom as a pursuit of truth and holiness as a way of life, addressing both philosophical and theological traditions that have shaped these concepts throughout history.
Throughout the centuries, philosophy and theology have approached wisdom and holiness as complementary, yet sometimes divergent paths to the ultimate meaning of human existence. In ancient traditions, wisdom was often seen as the foundation of ethical life, while holiness was regarded as participation in the divine. In Christian thought, the ideal of holiness is not opposed to wisdom but deepened by it, inviting reflection on how reason and revelation, contemplation and action, philosophy and theology intersect in the human pursuit of truth.

KEY THEMES AND QUESTIONS
We welcome contributions that address, but are not limited to, the following topics:
• The philosophical and theological foundations of wisdom and holiness
• The patristic and medieval synthesis of faith and reason
• Wisdom in relation to theosis (deification) and mystical experience
• The role of holiness in ethical and political philosophy
• Phenomenology of holiness in contemporary thought (Heidegger, Marion, Levinas, etc.)
• Wisdom and holiness in Orthodox spirituality and ascetic traditions
• The significance of holiness in relation to beauty, truth, and sacred art.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
• Manuscripts should be original, unpublished work and not under consideration for publication elsewhere.
• We encourage interdisciplinary approaches and welcome contributions from scholars in theology, philosophy, religious studies, and related fields.
• Submissions should clearly delineate the relationship between theological concepts and phenomenological or metaphysical frameworks.
• Manuscripts must adhere to the journal’s formatting and referencing guidelines, available on our website (see the Submissions page).

IMPORTANT DATES
• Submission Deadline: October 20, 2025.
• Notification of Acceptance: November 30, 2025.

• Publication Date: December 30, 2025.

SUBMISSION PROCESS

This information helps the editorial board understand the background and expertise of the contributors.

The Diakrisis Yearbook of Theology and Philosophy invites scholars, theologians, philosophers, and researchers to contribute to our 2024 volume, centered on the compelling theme of “Suffering and Asceticism.” This volume aims to delve into the profound and often complex relationship between human suffering, religious or spiritual discipline (askesis), and their broader theological and philosophical implications. In a world increasingly grappling with multifaceted forms of suffering—be it existential, social, or spiritual—this volume seeks to bring to light how theological and philosophical discourses interpret and respond to these challenges. We encourage submissions that explore the dynamic interplay between suffering and self-discipline, not only as theological and philosophical concepts, but also as realities that deeply influence human experience and societal structures. This edition aspires to provide a platform for critical reflection, scholarly dialogue, and interdisciplinary exploration, particularly focusing on the intersections and dialogues between theology, phenomenology, metaphysics, and other related fields.

In addition to papers focused on the main theme, we also welcome submissions for our Varia section. This section is open to high-quality papers on topics outside the central theme of “Suffering and Asceticism,” encompassing a broad range of subjects within theology and philosophy. This provides an opportunity for scholars to contribute their insightful research and perspectives on various theological and philosophical topics, thus enriching the diversity and scope of the volume.

Key Themes and Questions

How does the concept of suffering shape theological discourse and praxis?
The role of asceticism in various religious traditions and its impact on spiritual formation.
Exploring the phenomenological dimensions of suffering: existential, psychological, and theological perspectives.
The interplay between philosophical understandings of suffering and theological interpretations.
Comparative studies on suffering and asceticism in different religious contexts.
Ethical implications of suffering and self-discipline in contemporary society.
