BIOGRAPHY
From Empedocles to Wittgenstein

Historical Essays in Philosophy
Anthony Kenny, University of Oxford
From Empedocles to Wittgenstein is a collection of fifteen historical essays in philosophy, written by Sir Anthony Kenny in the early years of the 21st century. In the main they are concerned with four of the great philosophers whom he most esteems, namely Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas, and Wittgenstein. The author is not only one of the most respected historians of philosophy, and possibly the widest-ranging, but also one of the most successful at writing on the subject for a broad readership. In this volume he presents scholarly explorations of some themes which caught his interest as he worked on his acclaimed fourvolume New History of Western Philosophy.

Kenny: From Empedocles to Wittgenstein
G. E. R. Lloyd
Sir Geoffrey Lloyd, FBA, has been prominent in Cambridge intellectual life since the 1960s. He has been Professor of Ancient Philosophy and Science, Master of Darwin College, and Senior Scholar at the Needham Research Institute. His influence has been worldwide and cross-disciplinary: he has published twenty books on various aspects of the history of human thought, Eastern and Western, ancient and modern, and these have been translated into seven European and three Asian languages.
Disciplines in the Making

Cross-Cultural Perspectives on Elites, Learning, and Innovation
G. E. R. Lloyd, University of Cambridge (Emeritus)
The organisation of higher education across the world is one of several factors that conspire to foster the assumption that our map of the intellectual disciplines is, broadly speaking, valid cross-culturally. Disciplines in the Making challenges this in relation to eight main areas of human endeavour, namely philosophy, mathematics, history, medicine, art, law, religion and science. Lloyd focuses especially on the historical and cross-cultural data that throw light on how these disciplines were constituted and defined in various civilisations, especially ancient Greece and China, on the roles, both positive and negative, of elites in those processes, and on how and within what limits innovation occurred.

M E D I E VA L Averroes Physics
A Turning Point in Medieval Natural Philosophy
Ruth Glasner, Hebrew University
Ruth Glasner presents an illuminating reappraisal of the role played by the 12thcentury Andalusian Muslim polymath Averroes in the development of medieval science and philosophy. She reveals how Averroes pioneered a bold new atomistic physical theory, and shows that he deserves at last to be recognized as an original and sophisticated philosopher.

Anselm
Sandra Visser, Valparaiso University, and Thomas Williams, University of Iowa
Sandra Visser and Thomas Williams offer an accessible introduction to the life and thought of St. Anselm (c. 10331109). Anselm, who was Archbishop of Canterbury for the last 16 years of his life, is unquestionably one of the foremost philosopher-theologians of the Middle Ages.

John Wyclif
Stephen Edmund Lahey, Lemoyne College
John Wyclif (d.1384) is remembered variously as heretic, reactionary philosopher, Bible translator, and protoreformer. This survey situates Wyclif in his fourteenth-century milieu in an attempt to dispel the myths surrounding his rich and complex theological vision. Lahey argues that Wyclif s linguistic philosophy and his Scripture hermeneutic lie at the base of the ideas that scandalized the fourteenthcentury Church.

Anselm on Freedom
Katherin Rogers, University of Delaware
Can human beings be free and responsible if there is an all-powerful God? Anselm of Canterbury (10331109), the first Christian philosopher to propose that human beings have a really robust free will, offers viable answers to questions which have plagued religious people for at least two thousand years: If divine grace cannot be merited and is necessary to save fallen humanity, how can there be any decisive role for individual free choice to play? If God knows today what you are going to choose tomorrow, then when tomorrow comes you have to choose what God foreknew, so how can your choice be free? If human beings must have the option to choose between good and evil in order to be morally responsible, must God be able to choose evil? Anselm answers these questions with a sophisticated theory of free will which defends both human freedom and the sovereignty and goodness of God.

John Buridan
Gyula Klima, Fordham University
This is an introduction to the thought of the philosopher John Buridan (ca. 12951361). Little is known about Buridans life, most of which was spent studying and then teaching at the University of Paris. Buridans works are mostly by-products of his teaching. They consist mainly of commentaries on Aristotle, covering the whole extent of Aristotelian philosophy, ranging from logic to metaphysics, to natural science, to ethics and politics. Gyula Klima argues that many of Buridans academic concerns are strikingly similar to those of modern philosophy and his work sometimes quite directly addresses modern philosophical questions.

The Old English Boethius

An Edition of the Old English Versions of Boethiuss De Consolatione Philosophiae
Edited by Malcolm Godden, Oxford University, and Susan Irvine, University College London
Boethiuss Consolation of Philosophy, written in Latin around 525 A.D., was to become one of the most influential literary texts of the Middle Ages. The Old English prose translation and adaptation which was produced around 900 and claims to be by King Alfred was one of the earliest signs of its importance and use, and the subsequent rewriting of parts as verse show an interest in rivalling the literary shape of the Latin original. The introduction and commentary reveal much about the history of the text and its composition.

Al- Ghazalis Philosophical Theology

Frank Griffel, Yale University
The Muslim theologian al-Ghazali, who was active at the turn of the 12th century in Iran, Iraq, and Syria, was one of the most influential theologians of Islam. In this book, Frank Griffel will present the most comprehensive examination to date of the life and thought of this important figure. The book is divided into two parts. In the first, Griffel gives an account of what it known about al-Ghazalis life, offers brief discussions of his major works, and examines the legacy of his thought by tracing the lineage of his students and followers. In the second part, he provides a systematic exploration of al-Ghazalis theology. He explicates al-Ghazalis views on epistemology, cosmology, physical theory, creation, ethics, theodicy, and a host of other topics. The result is the most thorough available examination of a major thinker.

Burton: Language in the Confessions of Augustine
The Ikhwan al-Safa and their Rasail

An Introduction
Edited by Nader El-Bizri, The Institute of Ismaili Studies, London
Ikhwan al-Safa (The Brethren of Purity) were the adepts of a tenth-century fraternity based in Basra and Baghdad. This brotherhood occupied a prominent station in the intellectual history of Islam due to the wide reception of their encyclopaedia: Rasail Ikhwan al-Safa (The Epistles of the Brethren of Purity). This compendium contained fifty-two treatises in mathematics, logic, natural philosophy, psychology, and metaphysics, in addition to didactic fables. This present volume gathers studies by leading philosophers, historians and scholars of Islamic Studies, who are also preparing the first Arabic critical editions and complete annotated English translations of the Rasail Ikhwan al-Safa, which will be published in the OUP Series that this volume initiates. The chapters explore the philosophical and scientific contents of the Rasail, its classification and canonization of knowledge, the authorship and dating of the corpus, and the intellectual influence it exercised in the history of ideas in Islam.

Stephen Gaukroger, University of Sydney
Gaukrogers book is a historical reconstruction that brackets historical context (social, practical, political etc.) and offers a plethora of studies on intellectual history on a variety of subjects that deserve attention in any investigation of the emergence of the scientific culture of the West. Wolfgang Lefvre, Isis Gaukrogers grand beginning of an even grander five-volume narrative is an exceptional book. Its structure of scientific authority, as it were, is certain to stimulate long and lively discussions among academics of every stripe. Michael H. Shank, Renaissance Quarterly Why did science emerge in the West and how did scientific values come to be regarded as the yardstick for all other forms of knowledge? Stephen Gaukroger shows that science was bitterly contested during the early modern period. It did not distance itself from religion but rather entered into an alliance with it to provide a comprehensive picture of the worldtransforming not just science but also religion in the process.

It is written in a manner intended to be accessible to all readers, but it will be of special interest to historians interested in seventeenth century science, philosophy, politics, and morals; to philosophers interested in the origins of materialism, and to classicists concerned with the reception of ancient doctrines in the modern period.

We are lucky to have the poems so intelligently annotated and eruditely introduced; Eric Nelsons edition is an impressive achievement.

These texts constitute his most extensive single undertaking, as well as his last major work. Yet, despite the explosion of interest in Hobbes over the last fifty years, this is the first modern critical edition of the Homer translations.

The Riddle of Humes Treatise

Skepticism, Naturalism, and Irreligion
Paul Russell, University of British Columbia
The Riddle of Humes Treatise is a stimulating and provocative piece of scholarship. The central question it poses - how to understand all of the Treatise as part of a single project? - is most certainly a question that still needs to be asked. And Paul Russells way of answering it, by means of a careful consideration of David Humes intellectual context, is the only way. James A. Harris, Times Literary Supplement It is widely held that Humes Treatise has little or nothing to do with problems of religion. Contrary to this view, however, this book argues that it is irreligious aims and objectives that are fundamental to the Treatise and account for its underlying unity and coherence.

Custom and Reason in Hume

A Kantian Reading of the First Book of the Treatise
Henry E. Allison, University of California
Allisons discussion of Hume is philosophically deep and thought-provoking throughout. This is a book every philosopher interested in the relationship between these two philosophers should read, and read carefully. Karl Schafer, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Custom and Reason in Hume is concerned with Humes theory of knowledge, as it is contained in the first book of A Treatise of Human Nature. In addition to providing a comprehensive and detailed critical analysis of Humes views on the subject, which is informed by and engages the recent literature, the books distinctive feature is an extensive comparison with Kant on a range of issues, including space and time, causation, existence, induction, and the self. The differences between the two thinkers on these topics are shown to be a consequence of the differences in their underlying views on the nature of cognition.

The Philosophy of John Norris

W. J. Mander, Harris Manchester, Oxford
Best known today as one of the earliest critics of John Locke, John Norris (16571711) incorporated ideas of Augustine, Malebranche, Plato, the Cambridge Platonists, and the scholastics into an original synthesis that was highly influential on the philosophy and theology of his day. W. J. Mander presents a muchneeded study of this unjustly neglected thinker, and the different perspectives he offers on this seminal period in philosophical history.

Kants Theory of Action

Richard McCarty, East Carolina University
Students of Immanuel Kants ethical theory have had difficulty understanding basic questions of his theory of action: What are the causes of our actions? How do we act with free will? What makes an action virtuous? What is a good will? Richard McCarty presents a well argued, unusual and controversial interpretation, based on the historical context of Kants thought, and on ideas expressed in his lecture notes on psychology and ethics.

The Postcolonial Enlightenment

Eighteenth-century Colonialism and Postcolonial Theory
Edited by Daniel Carey, National University of Ireland, Galway, and Lynn Festa, Rutgers University
Over the last thirty years, postcolonial critiques of European imperial practices have transformed our understanding of colonial ideology, resistance, and cultural contact. The Enlightenment has played a complex but often unacknowledged role in this discussion, alternately reviled and venerated as the harbinger of colonial dominion and avatar of liberation. This book brings together eighteenthcentury studies and postcolonial theory to analyse the role and reputation of Enlightenment in the context of early European colonial ambitions and postcolonial interrogations of Western imperial projects and aspirations.

Edmund Burke, Volume I

17301784
F. P. Lock, Queens University, Canada
Edmund Burke (17301797) was one of the most profound, versatile, and accomplished thinkers of the eighteenth century. Born and educated in Dublin, he moved to London to study law, but remained to make a career in English politics, completing A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful (1757) before entering the political arena. A Member of Parliament for nearly thirty years, his speeches are still read and studied as classics of political thought, and through his best-known work, Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790) he has continued to exercise a posthumous influence as the father of conservatism.

Jeremy Bentham: A Comment on the Commentaries and A Fragment on Government

Edited by J.H. Burns and H.L.A Hart General editor: Philip Schofield, University College London
In the two related works in this volume, Bentham offers a detailed critique of William Blackstones Commentaries on the Laws of England (17659). In A Comment on the Commentaries, on which Bentham began work in 1774, he exposes the fallacies which he claims to have detected in Blackstone, and criticizes the theory of the Common Law. He goes on to provide important reflections on the nature of law, and more particularly on the nature of customary and of statute law, and on judicial interpretation.

Freedom and Reason in Kant, Schelling, and Kierkegaard

Michelle Kosch, Cornell University
Michelle Kosch examines the conceptions of free will and the foundations of ethics in the work of Kant, Schelling, and Kierkegaard. She seeks to understand the history of German idealism better by looking at it through the lens of these issues, and to understand Kierkegaard better by placing his thought in this context. Kosch argues for a new interpretation of Kierkegaards theory of agency, that Schelling was a major influence and Kant a major target of criticism, and that both the theory and the criticisms are highly relevant to contemporary debates.

Amour propre is the passion that drives humans to seek the esteem, approval, admiration, or lovethe recognitionof their fellow beings.

John Richardson, New York University

Nietzsches New Darwinism exemplifies the virtues that have long characterized Richardsons work and that have over the last two decades increasingly characterized the best scholarly work on Nietzsche: it is meticulously organized and carefully argued. Notre Dame Philosophical Review Nietzsche and Darwin were rough contemporaries who shared an interest in the origins of moral behaviour, but whose views on the subject could not have been further apart. Where Darwin saw selection in favour of the strong and the fit, Nietzsche saw the triumph of the will to power. Most of what Nietzsche said about Darwin was quite hostile; however, Richardson argues that Nietzsche was far more deeply influenced by Darwin than he ever acknowledged. The heart of the book is Richardson showing how particularly problematic Nietzschean issues benefit from a new view of Nietzsches unspoken embrace of Darwinian ideas and the natural sciences more generally.

Christopher Janaway
Christopher Janaway is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Southampton, and previously taught at Birkbeck, University of London. His work falls chiefly in the areas of 19th century German philosophy and aesthetics, and previous publications include Schopenhauer: A Very Short Introduction (2002), Images of Excellence: Platos Critique of the Arts (1995), and Self and World in Schopenhauers Philosophy (1989). He is the editor of The Cambridge Companion to Schopenhauer (1999) and Willing and Nothingness: Schopenhauer as Nietzsches Educator (1998).
Hegel: Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion

Translated and edited by Peter C. Hodgson, Vanderbilt University
The Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion represent the final and in some ways the decisive element of Hegels entire philosophical system. His conception and execution of these crucial lectures differed so significantly on each of the occasions he delivered themin 1821, 1824, 1827, and 1831that it is impossible, without destroying the structural integrity of the lectures, to conflate material from different years into an editorially constructed text. These volumes establish for the first time a critical edition, separating the series of lectures and publishing them as autonomous units on the basis of a complete re-editing of the sources. Volume I contains Hegels Introduction and Part I. Volume II contains Hegels philosophical interpretations of the history of religions in ancient Europe and Asia. Volume III contains Hegels philosophical interpretation of Christianity.

Hegel: Lectures on the History of Philosophy 18256

Translated and edited by Robert F. Brown, University of Delaware Series Editor: Peter C. Hodgson
This new edition of Hegels Lectures on the History of Philosophy sets forth clearly, for the first time for the English reader, what Hegel actually said. These lectures challenged the antiquarianism of Hegels contemporaries by boldly contending that the history of philosophy is itself philosophy, not just history. Volume I contains Hegels discussion of the history of Chinese and Indian philosophy, and it also sets out the significant changes that Hegel made to his stage-setting introduction to the lectures. Volume 3 covers the medieval and modern periods, and includes fascinating discussion of scholastic, Renaissance, and Reformation philosophy, and of such great modern thinkers as Descartes, Locke, Leibniz, and especially Kant.

Christopher Janaway, University of Southampton
Intelligent and illuminating Brian Leiter, Notre Dame Philosophical Review a superb study... Janaway consistently offers fresh insights and nuanced observations about the text, its structure, the motives behind its composition, its argument and its philosophical methods, or rather tactics. Taylor Carman, Times Literary Supplement Christopher Janaway presents a full commentary on Nietzsches most studied work, On the Genealogy of Morality, and combines close reading of key passages with an exploration of Nietzsches wider aims. Unlike other books on Nietzsche, Beyond Selflessness situates Nietzsche against the work of thinkers he considers his opponents, Schopenhauer and Paul Re; emphasises the significance of Nietzsches rhetorical methods as an instrument of persuasion; and examines recent analytical readings of Nietzsche as a philosophical naturalist. Everyone who works on Nietzsche will find this a richly rewarding book.

Wittgensteins Notes on Logic

Michael Potter, Cambridge University
This is the first booklength study of Wittgensteins first philosophical work, The Notes on Logic . Since Wittgenstein is one of the most important figures in the history of philosophy, and one of the few who attracts the interest of non-philosophers, the book is likely to be of unusually wide interest. Using a challenging blend of biography and philosophy, it draws new conclusions about the nature of the Notes, about the genesis of the Tractatus (which draws on material from them), and about Wittgensteins highly individualistic working methods.

Wittgenstein, Finitism, and the Foundations of Mathematics

Mathieu Marion, University of Quebec
Mathieu Marion offers a careful, historically informed study of Wittgensteins philosophy of mathematics. This area of his work has frequently been undervalued by Wittgenstein specialists and philosophers of mathematics alike; but the surprising fact that he wrote more on this subject than any other indicates its centrality in his thought. Marion traces the development of Wittgensteins thinking from the 1920s through to the 1950s, in the context of the mathematical and philosophical work of the times, to make coherent sense of ideas that have too often been misunderstood because they have been presented in a disjointed and incomplete way. He shows that study of Wittgensteins writings on mathematics is essential to a proper understanding of his philosophy, and also that it can do much to illuminate current debates about the foundations of mathematics.

Wittgenstein and Autobiographical Consciousness

Garry Hagberg, University of East Anglia
Garry Hagberg presents an original philosophical investigation of self-description. He explores the profound implications that Wittgensteins later work has for our understanding of the human condition, and offers philosophical interpretations of a fascinating range of autobiographical writings, by Goethe, Dostoevsky, Iris Murdoch, and others. The topics covered include competing conceptions of the human self, of the nature of introspection, of self-observation and perception, and of the self-defining role of memory and retrospective change in self-understanding. Throughout, a therapeutic, rather than a theorybuilding, conception of philosophical progress is both elucidated and employed in the interest of the clarification of fundamental issues of the self and self-understanding.

The Invention of Altruism

Making Moral Meanings in Victorian Britain
Thomas Dixon, Queen Mary, University of London
The Invention of Altruism is ambitious in scope, and full of suggestive discussion of important themes. Jose Harris, London Review of Books Altruism was coined by the French sociologist Auguste Comte in the early 1850s as a theoretical term in his cerebral theory and as the central ideal of his atheistic Religion of Humanity. In The Invention of Altruism, Thomas Dixon traces this new language of altruism as it spread through British culture between the 1850s and the 1900s, and in doing so provides a new portrait of Victorian moral thought.

The book is the first major study of the philosophy of Elizabeth Anscombe (19192001), who as well as being a friend and student of Wittgensteins (and his main English translator) was an extremely important philosopher in her own right, of international standing. She wrote over a wide range of topics, and the book reflects this, aiming to present a unified overview of her substantial oeuvre, and in particular bringing out the interconnections among her ideas. Anscombe wrote two monographs and numerous articles, including many classics; the most famous of these are discussed, but so are a number of less well known pieces.

Elucidating the Tractatus

Wittgensteins Early Philosophy of Logic and Language
Marie McGinn, University of York
Not only did I learn a great deal from this book, but reading it was also a pleasure. Oskari Kuusela, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Marie McGinn provides a clear, comprehensive, and original interpretation of Wittgensteins Tractatus and of its relation to Wittgensteins later work. The Tractatus is one of the most famous works of early analytic philosophy, the interpretation of which has always been a matter for controversy and is currently the focus for an important philosophical debate.

Propositions, Functions, and Analysis

Selected Essays on Russells Philosophy
Peter Hylton, University of Illinois, Chicago
The work of Bertrand Russell had a decisive influence on the emergence of analytic philosophy, and on its subsequent development. The prize-winning Russell scholar Peter Hylton presents here some of his most celebrated essays from the last two decades, all of which strive to recapture and articulate Russells monumental vision. Relating his work to that of other philosophers, particularly Frege and Wittgenstein, and featuring a previously unpublished essay and a helpful new introduction, the volume will be essential for anyone engaged with the history of twentieth-century ideas.

The God of Metaphysics

T. L. S. Sprigge, University of Edinburgh (Emeritus)
this book offers a vast, sprawling metaphysical world in which to immerse oneself. For all its disciplined density of argumentation, austerity of abstraction and masterly intellectual control it is vitally, passionately personal and, curiously, both diffident and breathtakingly ambitious in what it advocates. Philosophy Can philosophy offer reasonable grounds for the existence of a God (or Absolute) possessing genuine (even if not orthodox) religious significance and not proposed simply as the solution to a purely intellectual philosophical problem? Timothy Sprigge offers a fascinating exploration of the metaphysical systems of a diverse range of philosophers, from Spinoza and Hegel to T. H. Green and Josiah Royce, testing objections to what might be called metaphysical religion against the systems of these distinguished thinkers. In the process, Sprigge offers a compelling new defence of a highly unfashionable Idealist worldview.

Paradox and Platitude in Wittgensteins Philosophy

David Pears, University of Oxford (Emeritus)
This book is a subtle and scholarly work. Any student of Wittgenstein can expect to profit from a careful study of it. Arif Ahmed, Mind [A] masterly account Quassim Cassam, Times Literary Supplement Paradox and Platitude in Wittgensteins Philosophy is a concise and readable study of five intertwined themes at the heart of Wittgensteins thought, written by one of his most eminent interpreters. David Pears offers penetrating investigations and lucid explications of some of the most influential and yet puzzling writings of twentieth-century philosophy. He focuses on the idea of language as a picture of the world; the phenomenon of linguistic regularity; the famous private language argument; logical necessity; and ego and the self.
