There are several different ways in which corruption
can be considered: it can be seen from many levels
(macro-, mezzo-, micro- level), but it can also be
studied in different socio-historical contexts or by
utilizing theoretical and methodological resources of
various scientific disciplines – philosophy, sociology,
economy, etc. This is also true for every plan to fight
corruption, as well as for every recommendation to
suppress it.
The main purpose of the forthcoming special issue of
Philosophy and Society – for which we are hereby issuing a
call for papers – is to provide an original scientific
contribution to conceptualization of this topic in the
interest of achieving clearer insight into different
dimensions of corruption and providing potentially
new interpretations of this social phenomenon.
