Branding itself as an ‘interdisciplinary philosophy journal,’ Contralytic makes its debut from Glasgow and promises to focus each issue on one overarching political theme. It proves its multidisciplinary collaboration by including music, art, poetry, and design among its philosophical writings.
‘Circularity’ is the focus for the latest issue; it's a recurring theme in both philosophical discourse and mundane cultural identities. According to the editors: ‘This expresses a deep and intuitive grasp of the underlying self-regulating dynamics of nature, society, and the strange loops that we ourselves are.’ Find inside the established format of Poetry, Visual Art, Flash Philosophy, and Interviews, plus a new addition, Soundtrack, a curated playlist to accompany the reading experience.
