Vol. 31 No. 1 (2026): Spring 2026

This issue brings together five articles exploring how classical and contemporary philosophical frameworks illuminate enduring questions of faith, reason, and personhood. Contributions range from Thomistic virtue ethics applied to antibiotic resistance, to a fresh reading of Gregory Palamas' fragmentary style as a philosophical strategy for expressing unity without system. Jean-Luc Marion's phenomenology yields a new concept, the "iconic object," bridging givenness and objectivity, while a Lonerganian study reframes Insight's proof of God as a meta-apologetic argument tied to intellectual conversion. A study of Karol Wojtyła's personalism closes the articles section by asking whether community might precede, rather than follow, the person.

The Discussions section continues an extended exchange on monogenesis and human origins, alongside a scholarly translation of Bargieł's work on Tylkowski's Philosophia curiosa and two book reviews addressing Wittgenstein's wartime notebooks and his relation to Freud.

Forum Philosophicum is a scholarly journal dedicated to philosophical inquiries into various respects of the relationship between philosophy and faith. We want to offer a true Forum for the community of philosophers who view their faith as an inspiration, especially when seeking to face up to the new forms taken by the enduring problems of philosophy. Our Mission Statement declares our journal open to inquiries into subjects traditionally of interest to Christian philosophy, to philosophy shaped by Jewish and Islamic religious concerns, to problems explored in contemporary theistic positions and in the philosophy of religion, and to new insights into the evolving borderlines and conflicts between the rational and the irrational.
