Sententiae is a historico-philosophical open access journal. Journal created by Modern philosophy's research group (Pascalian Society).Founded in 2000. Published thrice a year, оn April 30, on August 31, and on November 30. Our purpose is to foster the development of a wide gamut of contemporary approaches, active implementation of them into research practice, and the establishment of high standards of teaching philosophy based on the achievements of the contemporary history of philosophy. Our key priority is to ensure the empirical substantiation of historico-philosophical conceptions, based on the criteria of literality, exhaustivity, contextuality and taking into account the existing speculative interpretations. Jean-Luc Marion was the first to formulate this set of criteria in 1998 as the main features of contemporary researches of Descartes's philosophy. We regard these principles as the methodological background of any substantiated research method in the history of philosophy. Publishing materials on all historico-philosophical topics, we pay special attention to research in terminology, issues of philosophical translation and untranslatability, manuscript research (including handwritten heritage of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy professors of ХVІІ–ХVІІІ century), and cover the development of large-scale projects in this area. We also publish new bilingual and commented Ukrainian translations of classical foreign philosophical texts. Among our priorities there is also a coverage of the history of philosophical thought in Ukraine and other Eastern European countries and its relations to the wider cultural context (theology, literature, natural sciences, political ideology etc). The content of each issue is distributed according to Genre Sections and Thematic Headings. Currently there are 10 Genre Sections.
