Palabra y Razón es una revista académica publicada desde el año 2012 por la Facultad de Ciencias Religiosas y Filosóficas de la Universidad Católica del Maule en la ciudad de Talca, región del Maule (Chile). Su propuesta principal es abrir un espacio fecundo para la reflexión crítica y diálogo interdisciplinario a través de artículos inéditos y especializados en filosofía en todas sus áreas y tradiciones, la teología y ciencias religiosas. Con especial interés, Palabra y Razón recibe también temáticas que provengan de las humanidades y ciencias sociales que dialoguen con las líneas disciplinares afines a nuestra revista. Buscamos, por lo tanto, una divulgación de la investigación académica que, desde su identidad regional, fomente la pluralidad del pensamiento.
