Introduction
Abstract
Dear Readers, we present you with a special volume of the Ignatianum Philosophical Yearbook, largely devoted to the historical significance of the Jesuit Order. We are offering it to you at a special time – the Ignatian Year, announced to be celebrated worldwide a few months ago by Father General Arturo Sosa S.J., to honor the 500th anniversary of the conversion of Ignatius Loyola (May 20, 1521) and the 400th anniversary of his canonization (March 12, 1621). As we all know, anniversaries of important events and related celebrations are an opportunity to reminisce, remind, and make inventories. Such is the case with the present volume, part of the Ignatian Year celebrations, in which we have included a number of scholarly treatises on Jesuit activity.

The Yearbook only accepts materials for publication that are free of all conflicts of interest, and that in no way involve conflicts over authorship, copyright, etc. The Editors will take action against any cases of plagiarizing, ghostwriting1, guest/honorary authorship2, etc. Where co-authored work is concerned, the Author listed first is expected to take responsibility for the submission, and is required to make clear the contributions of all of the Co-Authors involved. In the event of the publication owing its existence to funding dedicated to this purpose, this fact should be made clear: e.g. in any note of thanks/acknowledgement, or in a footnote, etc. Explicit notification should be given of any form of reprinting, with the appropriate evidence of permission to publish being furnished as required. Any impropriety on the part of Authors/Reviewers risks exposing them to appropriate responses from the relevant institutions.
