This section is dedicated to integrating the academic knowledge of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism, preserved at the Gyuto Tantric University, with formal Western knowledge.
Tantric Proceedings is an open yet rigorous discussion forum for debates on Tibetan Tantric Buddhism (Tantrism), its diverse contemporary manifestations and interpretations, and the different issues addressed by the Tantric perspective.
Our mission is to promote and integrate the academic knowledge of Tantrism with formal Western knowledge.
“Maintaining the origin of an idea and linking it to subsequent ideas generated from it allows a continuous development of academic knowledge. Nothing justifies renaming them and claiming foundational rights over a preexisting concept by calling it something else just to collect copyrights or to avoid being excluded from their own groups, as the first Jesuits initiated in Tibetan Tantric Buddhism were forced to do; instead of being called Tantrics, they called themselves the Enlightened.” (Gómez O. R., 1995)
This section will include articles, critical book analyses, essays, and any other document related to the theme. That is, all content is approached through the idea of the subject—and their gender—as a cultural construct, independent of deity and equal among themselves.
As with the journal, this section provides free, immediate, and open access to its content (without requiring reader registration) under the principle that making research available to the public fosters greater global knowledge exchange and therefore the advancement of humanity.
To be included in the publication, works must be free from editorial commitments with any other journal or editorial body. Each contribution will first undergo a thematic relevance evaluation by the Editorial Committee and then a double-blind peer review with internal and external reviewers.
Submissions must be sent via email to revista@fundacionmenteclara.org.ar

Special Monograph on Egalitarian Philosophies
Editors: MenteClara Editorial, Open Submissions, Peer-Reviewed (Double-Blind External), Indexed.
The Department of Applied Hermeneutics at the National University of Patagonia Austral (Argentina), the Peer-Reviewed Scientific Journal of the Fundación MenteClara International (RCAFMC), and the History Department of Savitribai Phule Pune University (India) invite the submission of research works focused on:
Egalitarian philosophies of caste, class, gender, and life choices that explore the relationships between humanist philosophies, existential phenomenology, and their influence on the thought and work of those who promoted the advancement of the Sudras and Dalits of India beyond ignorance and slavery, as exemplified by Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar, Savitribai Phule, Sathyavani Muthu, and others across different continents.
Editors: MenteClara Editorial, Open Submissions, Peer-Reviewed (Double-Blind External), Indexed.
This call aims to debate, articulate concepts, and produce new academic tools to empower individuals and elevate everyone to the same condition of being, bringing together multiple disciplines in a common forum to highlight and address inequalities of caste, class, gender, and life choices.
Special consideration will be given (including project funding) to empirical research related to the critical discourse analysis of contemporary social actors, aiming to detect in the verbal and body language of those who today lead or influence regional destinies, tendencies to segregate, massify, or empower individuals.
In this section, the articles published for this special call will be regrouped on April 30, 2020.
FMC Monograph Contest - Universidad de Flores
Editors: Paola Prozzillo and Faculty of the Universidad de Flores (Argentina), Submissions Closed for first-year Psychology students at UFLO, Reviewed by their instructors, Indexed.
The Fundación MenteClara International and the Chair of Health Psychology at the Faculty of Psychology and Social Sciences of Universidad de Flores, Argentina, invite students enrolled in the course to produce bibliographic review articles addressing the core theoretical constructs relevant to Positive Psychology.
In the last decades of the 20th century, Health Psychology began to position itself as a paradigm of psychological knowledge, reformulating its field of study. This shift moved from a focus on pathology and conflict—emphasized during the 19th and 20th centuries—to one that highlights human strengths, virtues, cognitive, emotional, relational, and macrosocial resources. We expect that the articles included in this monographic issue will help systematize findings in this field of knowledge.
Students of Universidad de Flores may participate in the contest, provided they have the support of a qualified instructor from the Health Psychology course.
Articles produced by students will be reviewed by faculty from Universidad Andrés Bello (Chile), Universidad de O’Higgins (Chile), Universidad Científica del Sur (Peru), Universidad Maimones (Argentina), and Universidad de Flores (Argentina). Layout, compliance with academic and methodological publishing standards, as well as formatting, grammar, and style corrections, are the responsibility of the students supervised by the mentioned universities.
The Fundación MenteClara, without modifying content, will convert received articles for this dossier into PDF, HTML, XML, and EPUB formats for subsequent: assignment of permanent Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs), publication, storage in a Permanent Blind Repository (LOCKSS), and dissemination in indexes and libraries.
Building a New Post-Pandemic Paradigm
Editors: MenteClara Editorial, Open Submissions, Peer-Reviewed (Double-Blind External), Indexed.
The Peer-Reviewed Scientific Journal of the Fundación MenteClara International (RCAFMC) invites submission of research papers focused on building a new paradigm of the subject and the individual, social, political, and economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, addressing, among others, the following questions:
What inequities were made visible by the pandemic?
What new rights were established?
What is the role of philosophy in these events?
How can science and its organization be rethought to respond to these situations?
What social, political, moral, and religious discourses supported different ways of understanding the pandemic?
What educational tools can help build a model of thought that surpasses the pre-COVID-19 conception of the subject?
The purpose of this call is to debate, articulate concepts, and produce new academic tools to obtain a clear vision of a possible new post-pandemic system of thought, bringing together intellectuals from different disciplines in a common forum to help address the consequences of COVID-19 on individuals and their social, political, and economic networks.
