Abstract

The project initiated with this journal can be essentially characterized by three aspects. First of all, the articles cover philosophical theses from the entire history of philosophy, including modern systematic theses as long as these are strongly tied to relevant historical philosophical positions. Secondly, the method chosen is logical analysis. A third and final aspect is the journal's underlying, albeit ambitious goal of promoting the philosophical "enlightenment" of the history of philosophy by means of the published contributions. In order to delineate the content of this project more precisely, it is important to clarify the concepts "logical analysis" and "philosophical enlightenment". In this introductory paper I wish to exemplify the method of conceptual logical analysis by analyzing the concept of philosophical enlightenment. On this basis it can then be clarified what is meant by making philosophical enlightenment fruitful in dealing with the history of philosophy, which, in turn, accurately describes the purpose of this journal
