Kennedy University, Buenos Aires (1998-2003), with Francisco García Bazán as co-director. Later, it was under the auspices of Diego Portales University, Santiago de Chile, and with the collaboration of The John F. Kennedy University, Buenos Aires (2004-2006) continued to edit the Review.

This New Series of the publication is directed by Oscar Velásquez, under the name ΔΙΑΔΟΧΗ Platonism / Patristic Studies. By Platonism is meant the continuity of studies after Plato which are framed within a Platonic tradition. Patristic Studies, on the other hand, encompass a very diverse field of disciplines related to the Church Fathers.

Platonism and Patristics run in parallel and independent ways that can be perfectly related. Platonism and Patristic Studies cover a very diverse field of disciplines, which, in principle, are all welcome. This work is published digitally and can be purchased in paper from anywhere in the world, as it will be printed by Amazon.com. 

Diadokhē is an independent magazine, directed by its founder, Oscar Velásquez, Corporación CulturalDiadokhē, Santiago de Chile. Patricia Ciner, from San Juan de Cuyo, Argentina is deputy director and Humberto Olea is the secretary and designer.

Reviews. Book reviews about books published from c. 2018 onwards are welcome. Publications must fall within our editorial policy, that is, Platonism and/or Patristics. Works published some time before 2018 can only be exceptionally accepted prior to consultation with our Editorial Board. Reviews can be from 2,000 to 3,500 words in length. Submissions exceeding this limit cannot be accepted.

The languages: Spanish, English, Portuguese, French, Italian.

Guest contributor articles. A reviewer appointed by the Journal will collaborate in common agreement with the author to prepare the final review, and to make any corrections deemed necessary. The reviewer does not decide on the publication of the article, but, together with the author, ensures that the article will comply with the norms and standards of the publication. The reviewer prepares a brief report of his work to the council. According to our estimates, the first issues (the first of which is expected to be published during the first half of 2022) will be largely the result of these collaborations.

In the not too distant future, the Review will be prepared to receive unsolicited contributions as well, which will be subject to an arbitration process not yet decided.
