Journal History

The GP Critical Theory and Hermeneutics [GPTeCH], an Academic Research Group, is characterized by researchs, colloquiums and academic congresses in the area of the Critical Theory of the Frankfurt School. From the richness of themes and authors, by understanding in your critical interfaces, and the production of academic works from these activities, it was necessary to create an owner and specialized Journal in what we could publish all writings coming from this academic journey and to share our experience with researchers worldwide.

In this sense, Aufklärung becomes both a place to open and public debate to the critical philosophy lovers and critics to philosophy.

Thus Aufklärung opens for publishing scientific work of researchers in philosophy, particularly from UFPB, its origin, but is permanently open to researchers from other institutions in Brazil and the all the world. Among many other journals, Aufklärung brings experience and zeal for the publication of scientific papers in the area it is intended, fulfilling their social role by sharing and democratizing  knowledge.
