Merkur-deutsche Zeitschrift Fur Europaisches Denken is a cultural magazine dedicated to the in-depth discussion and analysis of European culture and its expression and influence in contemporary society. It focuses not only on the traditional and educational aspects of culture, but also on culture as a dynamic, diverse and complex field that encompasses a wide range of social, political and philosophical issues.

The core of the magazine is to reveal how culture plays a role in different fields and how these roles affect the values and self-perception of individuals and societies. It encourages scholars and thinkers to explore cultural phenomena from a variety of perspectives and disciplinary contexts, including but not limited to the arts, sciences, politics, philosophy, economics, and society. Its articles and discussions often touch on challenging and controversial topics such as globalization, nationalism, migration, social justice, and technological progress.
