Budhi: A Journal of Ideas and Culture Vol. 27 No. 2
image: Budhi: A Journal of Ideas and Culture Vol. 27 No. 2 explores the healing power of philosophy through diverse perspectives—ranging from ancient Stoic and Socratic traditions to modern reflections on public space and health during the COVID-19 pandemic. This issue includes articles on the philosophical roots of counseling, medieval Arab efforts to calculate Earth’s circumference, and the overlooked impact of architecture on mental well-being. It also features a call for dialogue between science and religion, a special lecture on Aristotle’s views on women and Greek tragedy, and a review of Florangel Rosario Braid’s inspiring autobiography. Together, these works illuminate how philosophy can expose and ease the sources of human suffering by expanding our capacity for reflection, dialogue, and ethical action.

Budhi: A Journal of Ideas and Culture
Budhi is an international and peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal of philosophy that seeks to encourage creative and critical contemporary interpretations and appropriations of the history of ideas as well as theoretical constructions addressing contemporary culture and society.
The journal is devoted to the practice of philosophy in its interdisciplinary engagements with art, culture, history, religion, technology, and the social sciences. It seeks to provide an arena for exchanges between mainstream traditions and work from the geopolitical margins, particularly from the local history and culture of the Philippines. Budhi therefore crosses geographical borders as well as intellectual boundaries within philosophy and within the humanities and the social sciences.
Budhi would be of interest to readers working in philosophy, cultural studies, critical theory, postmodernity, aesthetics, applied ethics, gender studies, migration studies, society and technology, the intersection of ethics and the social sciences, and public policy.
