On January 15th, 2013, BISLA (the Bratislava International School of Liberal Arts) will introduce its very own academic journal, The Liberal Herald, the first issue of which is to deal chiefly with the question: “Do we want freedom?”

Answers to this question and their justifications vary from century to century, decade to decade, year to year; from East to West, continent to continent, nation to nation; from scholar to scholar, disciple to disciple; from generation to generation, individual to individual. We wish to examine a fragment of this infinitely diverse spectrum of thought. Contributors from all walks of life, students and teachers alike, are invited to submit their abstracts to theliberalherald@gmail.com by November 25th, 2012. Individual abstracts will be considered for publication by the journal´s editorial board.

Abstract Criteria Potential contributors must submit abstracts: •pertinent to the subject matter •scholarly (we are interested in a diverse range of disciplines) • in English •max. 300 words long

Authors of selected abstracts will be informed by December 1st, 2012 that their entries have been picked for publication. Complete entries, revised and edited, must be submitted to theliberalherald@gmail.com by December 20th, 2012.

Complete Paper Criteria Authors of selected abstracts must submit entries: •1000-2500 words long •revised, proofread and edited
