About the Journal

Aims and Scope

Gnosi: An International Interdisciplinary Journal of Human Theory and Praxis is an open-access, bilingual (English and French), peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to advancing scholarly discourse in the Humanities and Social Sciences. Established in 2018 and based in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Calabar, Nigeria, Gnosi fosters cross-disciplinary dialogue by publishing high-quality theoretical, methodological, and empirically grounded research. The journal welcomes diverse contributions, including essays, articles, review essays, book reviews, commentaries, and discussions, that critically engage with human endeavors and theories.

Beginning with its January–June 2025 issue, Gnosi will focus on specialized fields within the Humanities to enhance its scholarly rigor and global relevance. The selected areas of focus include:

• Digital Humanities

• Environmental Humanities

• Medical Humanities

• Cultural Heritage Studies

• Indigenous Studies

• Philosophical Thanatology

These domains reflect the journal’s commitment to addressing underrepresented yet vital areas of humanistic research, bridging theoretical understanding and practical application. The name Gnosi, derived from "gnosis" (knowledge), symbolizes the journal’s dedication to intellectual inquiry and the pursuit of knowledge.

Gnosi is committed to promoting global and regional perspectives, with a particular emphasis on African concepts, theories, and viewpoints that are often underrepresented in global literature. The journal also encourages submissions from scholars in regions outside the core of the global socio-economic system, fostering direct scholarly dialogue and transcending traditional academic barriers.
