The Metamorphoses of Philosophy II
Providing a phenomenology of the Western mind, this second of three volumes maps philosophy’s re-emergence in scholasticism and early modern science, up to its peak in the great metaphysical systems of 19th century German philosophy.
The Immateriality of the Human Mind, the Semantics of Analogy, and the Conceivability of God (Volume 1
Experts in medieval philosophy consider the nature of God and the soul. They explore Anselm’s proof for God’s existence, Aquinas and Buridan on the immateriality of the mind, and Cajetan on how we can speak of the divine essence.
Philosophy and Human Revolution
This book offers a philosophical study of Daisaku Ikeda. Not a religious analysis, it examines his intercultural work, which interfaces Japanese tradition with Western rationality. The author adopts an agnostic suspension to leave a place for philosophy and its arguments.
Categories, and What Is Beyond (Volume 2
Drawing on late antiquity and the middle ages, these essays study what types of things exist, the accuracy of our knowledge, the semantics of analogy, and how these considerations bear on our ability to learn and speak of God.
Conversations in Philosophy
This collection of thoughtful and challenging essays offers a careful examination of knowledge and freedom. It interrogates the social dimensions of knowledge, the relationship between knowledge and truth, and the nature of personal and social liberty.
This new edition of F. H. Bradley’s Principles of Logic is pivotal for understanding British idealism. A new introduction by William Moss places the work in context and challenges the view that Bradley is of little use for philosophy today.
On Time

Oxford Ordinary Language Philosophy, Wittgenstein and the Concept of Mind
Oxford philosophers sparked a revolution by arguing that psychological expressions do not describe internal states. This study details the anti-cognitivist critique, reconstructs the cognitivist objections to it, and shows how Wittgenstein’s later writings help overcome them.
This work reclassifies the history of ideas through a new organon for the cultural sciences. Radically revising standard theories, it extracts principles from philosophy, arts, and sciences, and reshapes them as symbolic forms grounded in imagination.
A World in Discourse
This collection of essays gathers together work presented at the Uehiro Graduate Philosophy Conference in 2013. The contributions reflect the growing influence of comparative philosophy throughout the world, and demonstrate the ever-enlarging boundaries of comparative analysis.
Friends and Foes Volume II
This volume investigates the relationship between friendship and conflict from political, sociological and psychological perspectives. Scholars examine how friendships are forged in contexts of conflict and how conflict itself can be transformed into friendship.
Morality of the Past from the Present Perspective
This monograph explores morality in Slovakia during the first half of the 20th century. Set in its unique socio-political context, it examines the era’s key philosophical, ethical, and professional aspects, and the reflection of morality in Slovak literature.
This collection explores the relationship between computing and philosophy, from AI and ethics to how computers relate to human lives within specific cultures. It breaks new ground by highlighting the cultural dimensions of these issues, particularly in Asia.
This book identifies a third problem of evil: epistemic evil. It arises when our judgments, through no corrigible defect, lead to undeserved human suffering. Tierno forcefully defends this problem, a groundbreaking challenge to theodicy.
Philosophy and Mental Health in the Age of Nihilism
This book explores the interconnections of nihilism, anxiety, and authenticity in East Asian and Western philosophies, religions, and psychotherapies. An innovative, cross-cultural study, it re-examines Buddhist and Daoist concepts to argue for an authentic no-self.
Mental Representation (Volume 4
Contrary to common belief, medieval philosophers saw intentionality in physical phenomena like reflections and sounds. Mental Representation explores their intricate views on cognition and representation, shedding new light on historical and contemporary philosophy of mind.
Senses, Affects and Archaeology
Senses and affects are not just physiological tools, but practices that constantly update our position in the world. Understanding how we are educated within these practices is the first step towards decolonizing our worldview and freeing our senses.
Thomas Hill Green’s work on ‘the common good’ provides the means to evaluate the conduct of political establishments. One of the most important contributions to political philosophy by any English philosopher, it continues to fuel lively debate today.
