Author Guidelines
Manuscripts and correspondence should be addressed to: FILOZOFSKI VESTNIK, P.O. Box 306, SI-1001 Ljubljana, Slovenia (fax: +386 1 425 77 92; e-mail: fi@zrc-sazu.si). Manuscripts in Slovenian, English, French and German are accepted.
Manuscripts sent for consideration must not have been previously published or be simultaneously considered for publication elsewhere.
Manuscripts should be provided in a clear one sided copy, accompanied by an abstract (in the language of the original and in English) summarizing the main points in no more than 150 words and up to 5 keywords. Authors are also required to provide the text on disk, CD-ROM or by e-mail, written on a compatible PC (in a version of Microsoft Word). The electronic version and the hard copy must match exactly.
A brief biographical note indicating the author's institutional affiliation(s), works published and central subject of professional interest should also be enclosed.
Manuscripts should not exceed 8,000 words (45,000 characters with spaces) including notes. Papers should be sectioned with clearly marked subheadings. Use double quotation marks throughout the text (e.g. for titles of articles, quoted words or phrases, technical terms), except for quotes within quotes. Titles of books and periodicals, and foreign words (e.g. a priori, epoché, élan vital, Umwelt, etc.) should be in italics. Note numbers should be referred to in the text by means of superscripts.
Citations should be presented as follows:
1. Gilles-Gaston Granger, Pour la connaissance philosophique, Odile Jacob, Paris 1988, p. 123.
2. Cf. Charles Taylor, “Rationality”, in: M. Hollis, S. Lukes (Eds.), Rationality and Relativism, Basil Blackwell, Oxford 1983, pp. 87–105.

4. Ibid., p. 49.
5. Friedrich Rapp, “Observational Data and Scientific Progress”, Studies in History and Philosophy of Science, Oxford, 11 (2/1980), p. 153.
The author-date system is also acceptable with a text reference reading. References in the text are then made as follows: (author's last name, date: page(s) or section). Detailed bibliographical information should be given in a separate alphabetical list at the end of the manuscript.
Proofs will be sent to authors. They should be corrected and returned to the Editor as soon as possible. Alterations other than corrections of typographical errors will not be accepted.
