Theme

This section publishes the monographic section of the journal, in which different authors explore a given theme from different points of view. The section has one or more editors. Each essay in the monographic section is reviewed according to the criteria stated by Scienza & Politica.

Articles

This section contains peer reviewed essays and articles on various subjects with a special attention to political thought, its history and its relations with others scientific disciplines.

Windward

 Windward is a section containing essays and articles non peer reviewed characterized by a multidisciplinary approach and joining an open debate or providing a new space of discussion, a laboratory of reflections.

The essays collected by this section are particularly important for Scienza & Politica, a twenty year experiment that means not only to travel through known routes but to proceed also across diverse theoretic scientific meridians and parallels, moving time by time the heading of the vessel on global lines of connections, following and overlapping the diverse maps of scientific disciplines.

«Windward sailing is being in or facing the direction from which the wind is blowing». We thought therefore this section as an open and endless space of navigation, exposed to different and opposing streams, to think and to rethink political, conceptual and doctrinal routes.
