THEORIA:  A Journal of Critical Studies in the Arts, Humanities and 
Social Sciences

May 1995:  Number 85:  Markets, States and Justice

pp.166

Based in South Africa, Theoria is a multidisciplinary journal of 
engaged theoretical reflection in the arts, humanities and social 
sciences.  Its purpose is to address, through scholarly debates, the 
many challenges posed to intellectual life by the major social, 
political and economic forces that configure the contemporary world.  
It is principally concerned with questions such as how modern systems 
of power, processes of globalization and economic organization bear 
on matters such as justice, democracy, truth and identity, under 
conditions both of advanced modernity and of uneven modernization in 
the `developing' world.

Theoria 87, May 1996:  REASON, THEORY and HISTORY:  Call for papers:

The claims that history can be "rationally reconstructed" and that it 
has some kind of "logic" or "direction" to it are clearly 
controversial.  Are these claims in any way sustainable?  What 
purpose, if any, might be served through the study of history?  How 
might it properly be grasped and with what implications?  What are 
the challenges that face history and historiography as we approach 
the end of the twentieth century?  In what ways might history be 
abused, and what, if anything, does it mean to speak coherently of a 
"philosophy of history"?  These, among many others, are the issues 
that Theoria #87 will address.
