About the journal
A General Description
The journal has been published quarterly since 1978 by an association of professors and
experts from all parts of the world who have an interest in interdisciplinary research on
our effort to find meaning in our world. It publishes studies dealing with those facts,
things, ideas, axioms, persons and values which people throughout history have
considered ultimate (i.e., that to which human mind reduces and relates everything and
that which one does not reduce or relate to anything else) or as horizons (i.e., world views
in the light of which humans understand whatever they understand) or as supreme value
(i.e., for which someone would sacrifice everything and which one would not lose for
anything).
It covers humanity’s entire history, from the earliest preliterate groupings to
contemporary society. Beliefs, world views and conceptualizations of an ultimate reality
and meaning of human existence will be identified and analyzed through the culture they
represent and the period from which they are taken. The analytical and critical description
of all that the human mind ever thought about the ultimate reality and meaning of human
existence is expected to initiate systematic and structural studies of the most universal
dynamics that have driven human consciousness from its dawn until the present day.
URAM Research was founded by Tibor Horvath, S.J., Regis College. 15, St. Mary Street,
Toronto Ontario, Canada M4Y 2R5, “Encyclopedia of Human Ideas on Ultimate Reality
and Meaning. A Plan for a New Encyclopedia.?969. Revue de l' Universit?d'Ottawa
39: 94-106.

Instructions to Authors
Notes for Contributors
It is recommended that potential contributors read first our listing 5. Encyclopedia of Human
Ideas on Ultimate Reality and Meaning: A Plan and List of Topics, and find the subject
matter of their interest. The listing already describes the nature of our research. Each article
published in the journal carries a number which locates contributions in the context of URAM
research.
Contributions concerning methods and approaches for studying special areas are encouraged.
Structural and systematic reflection on the articles already published in the journal are welcome.
Reviews and assessments of articles published in the journal are invited in order to stimulate
further research of the topic and open a file on URAM study in the subject matter. Such reviews
and assessments will form the content of a special section called Reviews and Evaluations of
URAM Articles.
Contributors are requested to follow the following guidelines supplied below for content and
format.
I Content
1 Essential information:
(a) if about a man or woman: date and country of birth; geographical and historical setting;
education; major influences; important stages in life and thought; influence; important writings
and publications (commentaries, studies, books or articles).
(b) if about doctrine, system of ideas, and/or school: definitions; leading exponents; most
important ideas; historical period of influence; listing of important writings and commentaries on
the doctrine, system and school.
4
(c) if about tribes, peoples or countries: name and geographical setting; history of studies and
sources; origin and history; major influences; social structure, commerce, industry, government;
language, religion, art, music, etc., influence on other people, contributions; questions to be
studied; description of how life is seen by the group; description of the corresponding symbols,
images and the network of their correlative function; description of how the group tries to survive
by adapting itself to or by manipulating the pattern of life.
2 Ultimate Reality and Meaning of Subject Matter Studied in Depth and Social Impact:
(a) description and definition of important names, terms, symbols, metaphors used to express
ultimate reality and meaning of human existence.
(b) elaboration of basic idea or ideas; here the contributor should be guided by such questions as:
Is the ultimate reality and meaning dealt with directly or indirectly? How is it expressed: as space
model, e.g., milieu, horizon, context, etc.; time model, e.g., origin, cause, ultimate, final, etc.;
person model, e.g., God, spirit, spirits, etc.? What is the final horizon, the central idea in terms of
which the meaning of human existence is understood? What is the conception of the universe, its
origin and destiny, if there is one? What is the role of a human being, his/her moral ends and
moral relation to the universe and its creator(s), if any, or to the totality of existence? What is the
logico-genetic development of what is taken as ultimate? Are these ideas original or derivative? If
derivative, from whom and how? What is the meaning of the universe? What is the meaning of
human existence? What does one expect from life? What are the desires one expects to be
fulfilled (to harmonize the world?, to live forever?, to let family, clan, society continue to
survive?, to be united with God or with the universe? etc.)? What is the relation between the
desires, the reality in which people live and the heaven to which they want to go? How is
happiness or a better future visualized? What is one expected to do to reach the desired
happiness? In what context do such desires make sense and in what context do they not? Do these
ideas contribute to a greater and deeper understanding of ultimate reality and the meaning of
human existence or experience?
The contributor should not dwell on beliefs incidental to these ultimates, unless essential for
understanding them. It is also expected that he or she will criticize and evaluate these basic ideas.
