Human Affairs
(founded in 1990) is a postdisciplinary and international journal for humanities
and social sciences published in English by the Slovak Academy of Sciences,
Slovakia. It aims to bring together contributions from all traditional and
non-traditional fields of humanities and social sciences which relate to crucial
contemporary human affairs. The underlying editorial strategy is to advance
human self-understanding and communication via publishing innovative
theoretical, interpretative, critical and historical contributions transcending
traditional disciplinary and cultural frontiers. By publishing primarily, though
not exclusively, original and theoretical articles, empirical
studies and their interpretations, reviews and notes of domestic authors, Human
Affairs serves the mission of fostering multicultural and international
conversation concerning the whole range of human and social issues.
