CALL FOR ESSAYS DETAILS
Topic: What is existence?
Requirements: Send a minimum 100-words essay in English (one entry per participant allowed). The answers must try to explain in an irrational manner what Existence is. Try to do so in your own words and via your own ideas – not by referencing ideas of others! References to existing philosophers’ ideas will not be accepted. The goal is to have genuine unique ideas. The greatest philosophers have anyway failed to reach a consensus on what Existence is. Why not give it a try?!?
NO NEED to be a graduate of philosophy!
NO NEED to have already published something in the past!
NO NEED to pay fees or any other cost!
NO NEED for references in your essay!
NO NEED to use your real name to be published!
JUST SEND YOUR ESSAY WITH YOUR IDEAS!
Innovation is the goal. Not academic conformance!
Tips: Try to be as IRRATIONAL as possible! If you try to think logically, your will most probably end up repeating existing ideas in different words. The big philosophical problems are too hard to be solved with linear logical thinking. What we need is innovation, not repetition of old ideas! Logic is itself based on arbitrary axioms, while what philosophy needs is a fresh look.

Prizes: All essays adhering to the requirements mentioned in this page will be published at Harmonia Philosophica.
Important Note: Your essay will be published only if you specifically add the following note at the end of your message: “TO BE PUBLISHED AS {name}“, where in the place of {name} you will put the name under which your essay will be published. For example, add “TO BE PUBLISHED AS Spiros” if you want your essay to be published with the name Spiros. The {name} specified for the publication could be a pseudonym, no need to use your real name! Essays without that note will not be published, due to privacy protection laws requiring your explicit and specific consent to publish something with your name.
Copyright: You retain full copyright on your ideas even after they are published. You retain the right to send a message to Harmonia Philosophica and request the retraction of the publication if needed or simply if you changed your mind.
How to participate: Send your essays to harmonia-philosophica@hotmail.com with subject ‘What is Existence’.
Deadline: The call for essays ends on the 31st of March (initial deadline was for 28th of February 2022). Essays will be published until the end of May 2022, depending on the volume of essays received.
Disclaimer: Harmonia Philosophica retains the right not to publish an essay if it has inappropriate, unethical or disrespectful content, if it is off-topic, if it is clearly unserious or facetious or if it is in violation of the law.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
