Oxford Philosophical Concepts

OPC Books

Oxford Philosophical Concepts offers philosophically rich and historically sound accounts of central concepts in the history of philosophy. Each is a history of its concept written by eminent scholars whose main goal is to present the underlying problems that the concept was supposed to solve and to explain how approaches to the concept – and sometimes the concept itself -- shifted in order to solve those problems. Each volume’s editor is responsible to set its focus, gather the best international scholars as contributors, and organize a workshop for its authors. Volumes include lexicons and thorough indices. OUP expects the series to have a broad international appeal and will publish the books as inexpensive paperbacks and include them in Oxford Philosophy Online.
