Editiones Scholasticae

Editiones Scholasticae is a German academic publishing house founded in 2011 that concentrates exclusively on Scholastic philosophy. According to its own account, the publisher was established in response to the growing interest in Scholastic thought, particularly among analytic philosophers in some Anglo-Saxon countries who were inspired by the strong argumentative method of Scholastic philosophy. The house publishes in German and English and describes itself as a "Verlag für scholastische Philosophie / Publisher of Scholastic Philosophy." Scholastic theology is included only insofar as it concerns the philosophical foundations of theology. The publisher organizes its list into three main areas: reprints of excellent new Scholastic books first published in the 19th and 20th centuries in German and English; translations of classical French and English Scholastic books as well as new and current Scholastic books; and new publications on Scholastic philosophy in English and German. Its catalogue is structured around several book series, including Grundkurs Philosophie, Lectiones Thomisticae (in both a library edition and a study edition), and Grundkurs klassische aristotelische Logik. The website also lists journals and a title overview, and offers distribution information. Among the works featured on the publisher's site are a German-Latin edition of Thomas Aquinas's commentary on Aristotle's Metaphysics, issued in seven volumes covering Books 1–12; Paul J. Glenn's Cosmology, Ethics, and A Tour of the Summa; and Lothar C. Rilinger's Die Zukunft des "denaturierten Menschen". The site also highlights Rafael Hüntelmann's Grundkurs Philosophie VII and a series titled "Perennial Philosophy in the 21st century." The publisher's focus on Aquinas and Aristotelian logic reflects its commitment to the classical Scholastic tradition. As a small, specialized academic publisher, Editiones Scholasticae serves scholars, students, and readers interested in Scholastic philosophy and its contemporary revival. It operates primarily through its German-language website and distributes its titles in the German and international academic market. The company is privately held and does not appear to be listed on any stock exchange.

Editiones Scholasticae was founded in 2011 as a new academic publisher dedicated to Scholastic philosophy. The publisher's own account explains that the founding was motivated by a growing interest in Scholastic philosophy over the preceding decades, especially among analytic philosophers in some Anglo-Saxon countries who were inspired by the strong argumentative method of Scholastic thought. The house was established to serve this renewed scholarly demand by publishing books in Scholastic philosophy only, with Scholastic theology admitted only insofar as it treats the philosophical foundations of theology. From the outset, the publisher defined three areas of activity: reprints of excellent new Scholastic books first published in the 19th and 20th centuries in German and English; translations of classical French and English Scholastic books as well as new and current Scholastic books; and new publications on Scholastic philosophy in English and German. This threefold program shaped the catalogue, which combines the recovery of modern Scholastic classics with contemporary work. The publisher's list is organized into named series. Grundkurs Philosophie provides a systematic introduction to philosophy, with volumes such as Rafael Hüntelmann's Grundkurs Philosophie VII. Lectiones Thomisticae appears in a library edition and a study edition, reflecting the central place of Thomas Aquinas in the catalogue. Grundkurs klassische aristotelische Logik addresses classical Aristotelian logic. The website also lists journals and a title overview, and provides distribution information. A prominent project is the German-Latin edition of Thomas Aquinas's commentary on Aristotle's Metaphysics, issued in seven volumes covering Books 1–12. The site presents Aquinas (1225–1274) as the most significant philosopher and theologian of the High Middle Ages and one of the most influential philosophers in European philosophy, noting that his commentaries on Aristotle contain his own further development of Aristotelian philosophy. Other featured titles include Paul J. Glenn's Cosmology, Ethics, and A Tour of the Summa, and Lothar C. Rilinger's Die Zukunft des "denaturierten Menschen". The publisher also highlights a series titled "Perennial Philosophy in the 21st century." As of the available evidence, Editiones Scholasticae remains an active, privately held specialist publisher operating from Germany and serving the German and international academic market. No ownership changes, listings, or major corporate events are documented in the supplied sources.
