Synthese is a philosophy journal focusing on contemporary issues in epistemology, philosophy of science, and related fields. More specifically, we divide our areas of interest into four groups: (1) epistemology, methodology, and philosophy of science, all broadly understood. (2) The foundations of logic and mathematics, where ‘logic’, ‘mathematics’, and ‘foundations’ are all broadly understood. (3) Formal methods in philosophy, including methods connecting philosophy to other academic fields. (4) Issues in ethics and the history and sociology of logic, mathematics, and science that contribute to the contemporary studies Synthese focuses on, as described in (1)-(3) above.

Synthese是一本哲學(xué)期刊，主要關(guān)注當(dāng)代認(rèn)識(shí)論、科學(xué)哲學(xué)和相關(guān)領(lǐng)域的問題。更具體地說，我們將我們感興趣的領(lǐng)域分為四類：（1）認(rèn)識(shí)論、方法論和科學(xué)哲學(xué)，所有這些都被廣泛理解。（2）邏輯和數(shù)學(xué)的基礎(chǔ)，其中“邏輯”、“數(shù)學(xué)”和“基礎(chǔ)”都被廣泛理解。（三）哲學(xué)中的形式方法，包括將哲學(xué)同其他學(xué)術(shù)領(lǐng)域聯(lián)系起來的方法。（4）如上文（1）-（3）所述，倫理學(xué)、邏輯、數(shù)學(xué)和科學(xué)的歷史和社會(huì)學(xué)問題是當(dāng)代研究的重點(diǎn)。
