About the Journal
The Revista Eletrônica Estudos Hegelianos (REH) was founded in 2004 by the board of the Brazilian Hegel Society (SHB) with the aim of promoting the study and research of Hegel’s philosophy in Brazil. The journal publishes both independently submitted articles and contributions resulting from international congresses and other relevant academic activities organized by the SHB and the broader Hegel-Forschung community.
REH accepts articles, reviews, and translations that contribute to Hegelian studies in connection with Classical German Philosophy, Social Philosophy, and contemporary interpretations of Hegel. To foster international dialogue, the journal has a twofold objective: (1) to make the most relevant developments in international Hegel scholarship accessible to Brazilian researchers and students, and (2) to promote Hegel research produced in Brazilian institutions to a global audience. All submissions are subject to a peer review process conducted by a selected body of expert referees.
Outline of the journal’s editorial history
The first six issues of REH were edited by Prof. Dr. Alfredo Moraes (UFPE). From 2007 onward, the editorial work was taken over by Prof. Dr. Manuel Moreira da Silva (Unicentro), who edited issues 7 to 10. Issues 11 to 17 were overseen by Prof. Dr. Christian Klotz (UFG). Starting with issue 18, the journal was led by Prof. Dr. Márcia Cristina Ferreira Gonçalves (UERJ), with Prof. Dr. Federico Sanguinetti (UFRN) initially serving as associate editor. During this period, the journal significantly expanded its international visibility. Since 2025, the editorial board has been composed of Editor-in-Chief Dr. Emmanuel Nakamura (Cebrap / FU-Berlin / AvH-Stiftung), alongside associate editors Ms. Fabiana Del Mastro (USP), Prof. Dr. Hernandez Vivan Eichenberger (IFC), Prof. Dr. Patrícia Riffel de Almeida (Unicentro), and Dr. Renata Inarah Guerra Santos (USP).
Focus and Scope
In its current form, the Revista Eletrônica Estudos Hegelianos seeks to broaden its thematic scope, aiming to publish articles, reviews, and translations that contribute to Hegelian studies in dialogue with the development of Classical German Philosophy and its contemporary interpretations. The only requirement is the academic excellence of the submissions. In this sense, we welcome contributions that address topics shared by Hegel and other thinkers of Classical German Philosophy, or that, by engaging with the philosophy of these authors, help shed light on Hegelian problems.
Peer Review Process
All submitted articles are evaluated by two referees appointed by the Editorial Board. Reviews are carried out in a blind review system by ad hoc specialists in the relevant field, who assess whether the article is suitable for publication. Contributions may be submitted in Portuguese, Spanish, English, French, Italian, or German.
