Kritike

Is the official open access (OA) journal of the Department of Philosophy of the University of Santo Tomas (UST), Manila, Philippines. It is a Filipino peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary, and international journal of philosophy founded in 2007 by a group of UST alumni. The journal seeks to publish articles and book reviews by local and international authors across the whole range of philosophical topics, but with special emphasis on the following subject strands:

 
  • Filipino Philosophy
  • Oriental Thought and East-West Comparative Philosophy
  • Continental European Philosophy
  • Anglo-American Philosophy

 

The journal primarily caters to works by professional philosophers and graduate students of philosophy, but welcomes contributions from other fields (literature, cultural studies, political science, sociology, history, anthropology, economics, inter alia) with strong philosophical content.

 

The word “kritike” is Greek from the verb “krinein,” which means to discern. Hence, kritike means the art of discerning or the art of critical analysis. Any form of philosophizing is, in one way or another, a “critique” of something. Being critical, therefore, is an attitude common to all philosophical traditions. Indeed, the meaning of philosophy is critique and to be philosophical is to be critical.

 

Kritike supports the Open Access Movement and is classified under the “Platinum OA” category, which means that articles published by the journal are fully accessible online without a subscription fee. Moreover, the journal does not levy charges against the authors for the publication of their works.

BROWSE COLLECTION >

BROWSE COLLECTION >

Collection 4 - Libros de Matriculas de Segunda Enseñanza

Due to educational reforms instituted by Spain in 1865, the UST was given the responsibility of confirming the grades given to students of all secondary schools in the Philippines. These compilations are arranged in hefty (45 x 63 cm.) enrolment registers called libros de matriculas. Names are grouped by school and arranged alphabetically by first name; there are columns for birthplace, residence, subjects and grades. Secondary schools represented in these libros include: Manila schools such as Letran, Ateneo Municipal, and various private schools; those in the provinces such as Colegio de Vigan, Colegio de Dagupan, Colegio de Nueva Caceres, Colegio de Guinobatan, Colegio de Cebu, Colegio de San Vicente de Jaro, and Colegio de Bacolod. Thus this section of the Archives is of particular relevance to almost all parts of the country. 28 volumes, 1866-1915.

BROWSE COLLECTION >

Collection 8 - Libritos

The Libritos section, together with Becerros, Folletos, and Libros, was one of the four original classifications of the Archivo de la Universidad de Santo Tomas (AUST). The contents of all four sections, along with other others added around 1944, were catalogued in the Índices prepared in this same year by Dominican Fathers Gregorio Arnaiz and Felix Vacas. Under Libritos were initially filed booklets such as novenas and sermons, but large and even thick books were eventually included. Some time after 1944, the various booklets and pamphlets that composed the Libritos volumes were unbound and then rebound individually. Generally, those from the 17th and 18th centuries received a hard gray binding; those from the 19th and early 20th, a softer, pink cover. They were also re-classified according to various topics, such as history (Philippine), history (ecclesiastical), history (civil), sermons, Dominicana, papal documents, etc., and shelved in separate boxes. Thus it became extremely difficult to locate items listed in the 1944 Indice. This is the state in which Fr. Fidel Villarroel received them in 1959.

 

Around 2011, the various loose materials that were presumed to have formed part of the original Libritos section were “liberated” from their previous classifications and re-grouped according to chronological order. It is this collection of 798 items dating from 1516 to 1944 that comprises the present Catalogue 2. Purposely excluded from this new Libritos section were those materials pertaining to Dominicana, the University of Santo Tomas Press, and smaller categories, which will receive their own catalogue listing in the future.
