Katarina Majerhold is a Slovenian philosopher, writer and editor. She is particularly interested in philosophy of emotions, especially in philosophy of love and sexuality, happiness, philosophical counseling and ethics. In 2017 she published an article on the History of Love in the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy. [1] She has been a member of Society for the Philosophy of Sex + Love [2] since 1998. In 2020 she wrote her concept of love as a creative dynamic work [3] In which she claims that all known western concepts of love (Plato's, Augustine's, Rousseau's and Freud's alike) are based on lack of something or someone, such as primordial wholeness, God, Mother, whereas she founds her concept of love as happy and peaceful on pragmatical, enthusiastic and ecstatic foundation that promotes personal and couple's happiness, reciprocity, (sexual) satisfaction and creative and intellectual work. Her article The Crisis of the Meaning of Philosophy (2003) was awarded as an essay of the decade by the journal Sodobnost (Modernity or Contemporary Time) in 2012, [4] and reproduced on radio (ARS programme, 2018). [5]

Career

Majerhold has had her own philosophical counseling column in the magazine O osebnosti (2007–2010) and in the Slovenian newspaper, online version Delo.si (2009–2010). [6] She also wrote numerous articles on philosophical counseling [7] [8] and obtained a certificate for philosophical counseling (2007).[ citation needed ]

She previously worked at the Slovenian Educational Research Institute as a young researcher/assistant. [9] In that time she wrote and edited three books on Slovenian higher education (Ali univerza pleše avtonomno/University and Its Autonomy? (1999), [10] [11] Ali se univerza vrti v krogu svoje moči?/University and Its Power? (2001), [12] [13] Ali univerza potrebuje socialno okolje?/Does University Need Its Social Environment? (2003) [14] Ljubljana, Študentska založba).

Majerhold was the managing editor of the international scientific journal Andragoška spoznanja (Andragogic Perspectives) (2008–2011) and has been a member of the Slovenian Association for the Education of Adults since 2008. She was a member of the editorial board of the magazine on art and culture Sodobnost (Contemporary) (2002–2012) and she has been an editorial board member of the international scientific magazine on social sciences and humanities JKC (1998–). [15] In January 2022, she became the editor-in-chief of the online magazine Apocalypse which publishes about philosophy, art (poetry, literature), and book reviews [16] and in July 2023 became a managing editor of the Časopis za kritiko za znanosti (Journal for Critique of Science/JCS). JCS has introduced its Slovene and international readership to a multitude of various social and humanistic topics. Over the years, JCS has become an indispensable part of Slovene academic life and articles published in the Journal are seen as forming a canonical scientific-academic literature..

In her early career as a philosopher of love she mostly worked on learning of the Western concepts of love and which prevailing concept of love each period in history offered: Empedocles' Love (Eros) and Strife (Neikos), Plato's Eros and Aristotle's Philia, St. Paul's Agape and St. Augustine Caritas, Rousseau's notion of a modern romantic pair of Emile and Sophie, Freud's love as transference and Nussbaum's compassionate, reciprocal, erotic and individual love. However, this does not mean that each representative concept of the period speaks of a totally new or innovative concept of love, many of them are interdependent and/or modification of the other. Majerhold also wrote her own concept of a happy, peaceful and democratic love described as a creative dynamic work. [17]

She published her articles in USA [18] and Brazilian books and American, [19] Canadian and Turkish [20] magazines. She has also written on love, sexuality and emotions: Love in Philosophy [21] (from Plato to Freud, Psihopolis, Novi Sad 2012), Living [22] (Koda, Študentska založba, Ljubljana 2012), Love Through History (Cankarjeva založba, Ljubljana 2015), [23] Love, Its Origin and Modifications Through Time (Založba Obzorja, Maribor, 2016), [24] Čustveni izzivi (Rokus-Klett, Ljubljana, 2017). [25]

In 2018, Majerhold created her own website, LL-Passion, where she publishes philosophical essays, reviews of LB-films, series, and interviews with artists, researchers, humanists who are either LB or working in the LGBT field. [26] [27] For example, she interviewed [28] Icelandic novelist and playwright Jónína Leósdóttir, [29] the wife of former Icelandic Prime Minister Johanna Sigurdardottir, a candidate in the upcoming French presidential election in 2022 [30] and vice-chancellor of the University of Lille, Sandrine Rousseau, [31] [32] Claudine Monteil, [33] (retired) French diplomat, feminist and writer who worked with Simone de Beauvoir for 16 years and was one of the founders of the French feminist movement in the 1970s, in 2023, she interviewed the renowned Slovenian-British designer Lara Bohinc, [34] whose jewelry was worn by Kate Moss, Cameron Diaz, and Victoria Beckham, and for many years she collaborated with Gucci, Lanvin, etc., before founding her furniture Bohinc Studio and in 2010 the American philosopher Martha Nussbaum. [35]

Majerhold identifies as an atheist and a lesbian. [36]
