The purpose of the lectures found on this page is not so much the popularization of philosophy as general philosophical education - to facilitate rapid two-way communication between a narrow group of representatives of various philosophical disciplines and broad circles of persons interested in them.

Each lecture received by us will be placed on our site within a specified time, agreed upon with the author. Several days prior to making the lecture available, information about it will be distributed to the Polish philosophical community, and in particular to all subscribers and cooperators of Diametros. During the week following the announcement of the lecture, our readers will have an opportunity to send their questions and comments. These remarks, together with the text of the lecture itself and an abstract, will be placed in the Current lectures section of our site and will also be sent to the author of the lecture, who will have occasion to reply to them either individually or in a final summary. After this "discussion period" has ended, the text of the lecture, together with the authorÂ’s eventual modifications and additions, will be moved to the Lecture archive, section.

In addition to the above, we will give all authors the opportunity to publish the text of their lectures in pdf format in our quarterly Internet journal, Diametros, in the "Lecture" section created especially for this purpose. Obviously, authors may decline to accept this offer; they may publish their lecture elsewhere, leaving only the draft in our archive. They may also choose to remove their text from our archive (after at least one year has elapsed). It is our hope, however, that the majority our authors will not make use of this right but will choose to leave their text in our archive permanently. Thanks to this, the lectures archived by us will in time form complete thematic cycles that will prove invaluable to all persons studying philosophy or interested in it.
