Hermenaut, ‘an irregularly published 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.’
