New Texts in the History of Philosophy

The aim of this book series, sponsored by the BSHP and published by Oxford University Press is to encourage and facilitate the study of all aspects of the history of philosophy, including the rediscovery of neglected elements and the exploration of new approaches to the subject. Texts are selected on the basis of their philosophical and historical significance and with a view to promoting the understanding of currently under-represented authors, philosophical traditions, and historical periods. They include new editions and translations of important yet less well-known works which are not widely available to an Anglophone readership. The series is managed by an editorial team elected by the Society. It reflects the Society’s main mission and its strong commitment to broadening the canon.
