Neglected Classics of Philosophy Volume 2 consists of twelve newly written chapters by top scholars on unjustly neglected philosophical texts that they argue deserve fresh attention today. Many of the contributors discuss the meta-philosophical features of the works discussed and how these can be salient today, and they also reflect on the gendered, racial, and cultural patterns of exclusion in the development of the contemporary philosophical canon. As he did with the predecessor 2016 volume, editor Eric Schliesser contributes a substantive introduction also commenting on these issues.

Über den Autor / die Autorin
Eric Schliesser's (PhD, The University of Chicago, 2002) research encompasses a variety of themes, ranging from economic statistics in classical Babylon, the history of the natural sciences and forgotten 18th-century feminists (both male and female) to political theory and the history of political theory and the assumptions used in mathematical economics. He was previously affiliated with Syracuse University, Leiden University, and Ghent University, and has been a visiting scholar at UC Santa Barbara and Chapman University.
Zusammenfassung
The prominent contributors to this edited volume were asked to discuss neglected classic works in both Western and non-Western philosophy, and to make a case for their contemporary importance in an accessible and inviting way. The result - a successor to an earlier 2016 volume, also edited by Eric Schliesser - is an invitation to consider new ways of defining, and doing, philosophy. The works discussed here are written in a variety of literary styles, in different ages and intellectual cultures. Many contributors note the meta-philosophical features of the works, and how these can be salient today, and thus inspire reflection on the nature of philosophy and the varieties of roles it can play professionally and existentially. In particular, many of the chapters inspire reflection on the gendered, racial, and cultural patterns of exclusion in the development of the contemporary philosophical canon.
