Piotr Pietrzak

In Statu Nascendi is a peer-reviewed journal that aspires to be a world-class scholarly platform encompassing original academic research dedicated to the circle of Political Philosophy, Cultural Studies, Theory of International Relations, Foreign Policy, and the political Decision-making process. The journal investigates specific issues through a socio-cultural, philosophical, and anthropological approach to raise a new type of civic awareness about the complexity of contemporary crisis, instability, and warfare situations, where the “stage-of-becoming” plays a vital role. Issue 2021:1 comprises, amongst others, the following interviews & articles: Constructivism in the Study of Sustainable Development, Interview with Krzysztof Żęgota on the Kaliningrad Oblast Role in the Contemporary Russian Federation’s Geostrategic Outlook, ’Democracy to come’: Derrida’s ‘undecidability’ and Laclau’s ‘Ethical’ as Investment Everydayness, A Hidden Tenderness for the World: Reconstructing Marx's Ethics, Every-no-where: A brief comparison of Pau Ricoeur's "Imagination in discourse and in action" (1994) with Hegel's philosophy as expressed in Donald Phillip Verene's Hegel's Recollection: A Study of Images in the Phenomenology of Spirit (1985).
