“The eclectic mind is a civilized mind and in these days of overspecialization and narrowly focused research it is a wonder to find a journal like Telos, which ranges from the humanities to the social sciences with stylistic elegance and intellectual depth. The journal brings together some of the best writers and opinion-makers, and offers its readers a feast of ideas. Enjoy!”
“I have been reading Telos off and on since my college days, and Telos and Telos Press were my first exposures to so many new (and old!) ideas and thinkers. What amazing work you all have done these many years. And I am so particularly excited now that I am rediscovering Telos and your press (the Schmitt Nomos book being a happy find some years ago) that your work embraces fascinating thinkers from such a wide spectrum—from the Frankfurt School to Schmitt! From Baudrillard to Radical Orthodoxy! In a world where most people, even most intellectuals, seem determined only to preach to the converted, or to hear what they already think, it is such a true pleasure to be opened and challenged like this.”
“Telos is the bravest critical theory journal in the world and one of the few ready to confront the challenges of the twenty first century, including contemporary Iran, American decline, and the rise of China. It is free from dogma and prepared to publish new authors with something disturbing to say. At a time when social and political thought are failing to map our present, Telos sharpens our grasp of the issues and pushes us forward to new and less illusory places. I recommend it with enthusiasm.”
“In an environment in which few independent publishers survive, Telos continues to fulfill an important mission within the fabric of scholarly communication by providing an outlet to new authors in critical analysis, in addition to transmitting the work of well-established scholars.”
“Telos maintains a truly global perspective and a universal range of sympathies. It is one of the very few remaining morally uncensored forums for open political discussion. One suspects that, in these dark times, its best days are yet to come!”
“Telos is essential reading for anyone who wants to follow intellectual developments in Europe. The now widely regarded writings in English of Pierre-Andre Taguieff, Jeffrey Herf, Matthias Küntzel, Franklin Adler, and Russell Berman on European antisemitism and anti-Americanism first appeared in Telos. It’s a journal that’s consistently ahead of the curve.”
“Telos remains provocative and independent in a time of intellectual banality.”
“Telos has managed to do something that few others have accomplished, both an openness to truth and a willingness to take a hard look at what is thought about it.”
“Telos journal and conferences are for the intellectually curious and daring. For many years, this journal has sustained a vibrant and important intellectual community for those not satisfied with an increasingly homogeneous academic scene.”
“Telos is an intellectually provocative quarterly that dares to present unpopular views and truths.”
“Telos is not only an intelligent journal that goes directly to the heart of its topics. It is also one of the few American publications that has a real knowledge of the European ideological and theoretical landscape. I have read it for more than twenty years, and each new issue is a joy!”
“Telos is a wonder. It ranges from history and philosophy to art, music, economics, and theology. It greatly enriches my mind and spirit; it’s one of those wonderful ‘little magazines’ that used to be on every real intellectual’s desk. Long may it flourish.”
“Paul Piccone belonged to a species virtually extinct: the independent theorist. He wrote without fear; nor did he seek favors. He strode through the thickets of critical theory with vigor and dispatch. His writings deserve to be remembered, read, and celebrated.”
