About the journal

Current Issue Cover

Prescient, timely, provocative, and independent: Telos is a must-read for anyone with a serious interest in politics, philosophy, critical theory, and culture.

Since 1968, the quarterly journal Telos has served as the definitive international forum for discussions of political, social, and cultural change. Readers from around the globe turn to Telos to engage with the sharpest minds in politics and philosophy, and to discover emerging theoretical analyses of the pivotal issues of the day.

Over its long history, Telos has charted new territory in political and philosophical analysis. Contributors to the journal have pioneered the critical frameworks necessary for interpreting the unfolding political, social, economic, and cultural transformations in the world at large. From its studies of dissidence in Eastern Europe during the Soviet era, to its investigations into the history and ideology of global terrorism, to its rigorous critiques of authoritarian regimes, Telos has consistently been at the forefront of the political-philosophical discussion.

As Paul Piccone‘s life-long project, Telos has occupied a crucial position in the English‑speaking world’s analyses and applications of contemporary critical theory. Since beginning at SUNY-Buffalo on May 1, 1968, with a tiny group of graduate students in charge of its content and direction, it has afforded an enduring outlet for many unorthodox thinkers from Europe, North America, and elsewhere to question the common beliefs about the Cold War, leftist mass politics, sixties’ radicalism, modern research universities, American democracy, Eastern European Communism, popular culture, the expanding European Union, and the New Left. Under the editorship of Russell A. Berman, Telos continues to advance this commitment to exploring the complex interactions of philosophy and politics, broadly understood, beyond disciplinary narrowness or orthodox opinions.

TELOSscope is our official blog, authored by a variety of Telos editors, authors, interns, and occasional guest bloggers. Released from the time constraints of the publication cycle, TELOSscope bloggers engage more directly with current events, bringing the insights and analytical tools of critical theory to bear on more immediate contemporary concerns. Your comments are welcomed, and indeed encouraged, on all posts. With TELOSscope, we also try to keep readers informed about new publications, events, and other matters of interest to the Telos Press community.

TELOSthreads is an ongoing blogging project designed to draw our readers’ attention to the rich depth of thinking and writing found in the Telos archives, now available online. Several times each month, our bloggers revisit articles from the Telos archives, drawing attention to the significance of the articles themselves as well as their relevance to present-day concerns. TELOSthreads also serves as an opportunity for younger scholars to publish short pieces of writing while also learning about the journal’s history. We welcome the participation of undergraduate and graduate students from around the world, so please be in touch if you would like to get involved with this project.


Instructions to Authors

Telos publishes essays and notes on select topics in philosophy, social theory, politics, culture, and the arts. The journal is particularly interested in treatments of critical theory, phenomenology, and other intellectual trends and the light they may shed on issues such as federalism, sovereignty, globalization, religion, and contemporary politics. All original essays for Telos will be refereed. We encourage prospective authors to review recent issues of Telos, which offer a representative sample of the journal’s ongoing areas of concern and interest.

Please read the following guidelines carefully before you submit your article.

LengthTelos normally prefers articles that run no more than 7500 words (without notes) or 8500 words (with notes). Telos also invites submissions of shorter pieces that run as “notes,” and typically do not exceed 2500 words. A note usually focuses on a single topic, text, or set of events. Topical comments of 1500 words may be submitted for consideration for posting on the blog section of our website. Note: submissions that exceed these limits will not be evaluated.

Subscription requirement: In order for a submission to be reviewed for publication, the author must either be an individual subscriber to Telos or be affiliated with an institution that maintains an institutional subscription to Telos. Individual subscriptions must be in the author’s name. Information regarding subscriptions is available here.

Abstracts: Submissions to Telos must also include a 250-word abstract.

Style and formatting: In terms of style and formatting, we request that all journal articles and reviews adhere to The Chicago Manual of Style guidelines. Pay particular attention to the documentation of your sources, as incomplete or improper citations can slow down the editing process quite a bit.

With regard to notes and citations in particular, Telos uses footnotes without a works cited page. Superscript footnote references within the body of the article should ideally be placed at the ends of sentences, although that rule is flexible where it makes more sense to do otherwise.

Here is an example of a footnote for a book citation:

1. Ernst Jünger, The Adventurous Heart: Figures and Capriccios, trans. Thomas Friese (New York: Telos Press, 2012), p. 68.

And here is an example for a periodical citation:

2. Jean-Claude Paye, “From the State of Emergency to the Permanent State of Exception,” Telos 136 (Fall 2006): 154–66.

Spelling and usage: For questions of spelling and usage, please consult Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, 11th ed., or Webster’s Third New International Dictionary, Unabridged. For finer points of grammar and usage, see Garner’s Modern American Usage, 2nd ed.

Authors from the UK in particular, please note that formatting, spelling, and punctuation should follow American stylistic conventions.

A Note on Translations: Because Telos is an English-language journal, we need to ensure that it is accessible to our readership. If you intend to include quotations written in non-English languages, please include English translations of those quotations in the body of the article. Where published English translations exist, you should quote from these texts directly rather than provide your own new translation. You may of course modify the published translation, however please do so only where such modifications are critical to your argument. Likewise non-English quotations should be included supplementarily only where necessary.

Publication history and rights: All original essays submitted to Telos should not have been previously published in any format, nor should they be currently under consideration or accepted for publication elsewhere. Telos will not consider simultaneous submissions. Prior to the publication of an article in Telos, its author(s) must complete and sign an author agreement that transfers the copyright on the article to Telos Press Publishing. Telos will not consider material that has been previously copyrighted.

Submissions format: Submissions to Telos can be sent to us in the form of a Microsoft Word file, attached to an email. Our email address for submissions is submissions@telospress.com.

All original essays for Telos will be refereed. If you are unsure about whether your article would be suitable for publication in Telos, then contact us with a short synopsis of your work and any questions you may have. Once your article is submitted, please allow at least three months for editorial evaluation.
