About Iyyun

Iyyun, the leading philosophy journal in Israel, provides a forum for philosophical discourse in Hebrew. Iyyun has long been committed to nurturing and enriching dialogues and controversies in a wide array of philosophical topics, grounded in the conviction that philosophy has a formative role to play in the social, political, and cultural spheres. Committed to pluralism and diversity, Iyyun welcomes a wide spectrum of scholars and styles. It presents articles and essays by eminent and promising philosophers and critics whose work exemplifies the highest quality of writing and freshness of thought.

Iyyun was established in 1945 by Martin Buber,Samuel Hugo Bergmann, Julius Guttmann, and Sinai Ucko. Recently (2022), the journal has undergone a process of renewal leading to the publication of several thematic issues that aim at charting original ways of thinking and scholarship as well as building bridges between academia and the broader intellectual community. The journal also publishes essays, translations, interviews,and symposia in philosophy.

Iyyun is a peer-reviewed biannual journal, published jointly by the S. H. Bergman Center for Philosophical Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Magnes Press. Iyyun‘s website operates as an active philosophical platform which, in addition to the printed journal, features exclusive online content.
