From its founding in 2013 to the present, Azimuth has played a role in mapping contemporary philosophical debate on a variety of topics, revolving around three key thematic areas: philosophy of technology, aesthetics & pol­itics, and the history of ideas and cultures. The overall research and editorial intent have been to investigate the way in which philosophical reflection in­tersected and confronted with those other forms of knowledge that, in each of these areas, are decisive for a critical understanding of phenomena. Ten years after the beginning of the publication, the critical landscape that Azimuth has drawn can be weighed and evaluated in relation to the present and the way philos­ophy continues to articulate itself in the thematic and institutional confron­tation with other forms of knowledge. What did the progressive hybridization with disciplines whose method­ologies are often radically different from the philosophical one mean for philosophy in the last ten years? Which methodological transformations have become necessary? With respect to which specific problems within the in­dicated macro-areas is the philosophical contribution recognized as pivotal by scholars of other disciplines? What does it mean to “do philosophy”, to “practice philosophy” in a historical and cultural horizon of growing com­plexity and interconnection like the present one?
