Hermenaut, a twice-yearly journal of philosophy and pop-culture, has been described as "a zine that gives voice to indie intellectual thought," "a scholarly journal minus the university," and "a sounding board for thinking folk who operate outside the ivory tower." Founded in 1992 by a rag-tag group of outsider intellectuals, Hermenaut uses the tools of philosophy, sociology, and critical theory to explode the received notions of academia and the hipster demimonde alike.

Hermenaut.com is a natural extension of the print publication. The site provides selections from our print archives as well as brand new content tackling contemporary issues in philosophy and culture.

As an added bonus, Hermenaut.com's "Wicked Pavilion" conferencing system provides a place where the intellectually adventurous can meet.
