Return to Scholarly Subject List

Palgrave Macmillan has a distinguished and fast-growing philosophy list with a wide range of works. We are proud to be publishing many new series reflecting the depth, quality and energy of new research in the field, including History of Analytic PhilosophyNew Directions in Philosophy and Cognitive ScienceNew Waves in Philosophy, and Philosophers in Depth. Alongside these are several longstanding series such as Renewing Philosophy and Library of Philosophy and Religion. Market-leading textbooks such as Bryan Greetham's invaluable Philosophy, Julian Baggini's Philosophy: Key Texts and Philosophy: Key Themes provide the student and general reader with accessible and engaging introductions, whilst our newest textbooks, such as Knowledge by Duncan Pritchard and Animal Rights by Mark Rowlands offer alternative and engaging advanced introductions. Forthcoming publications include Michel Foucault’s The Courage of Truth, the seventh volume in our series of books deriving from his lectures at the Collège de France, and new titles within the new Animal Ethics series.

Our backlist boasts a variety of classic texts by authors such as William James, John Dewey, Emile Durkheim, Bernard Bosanquet, James Baldwin, Friedrich Waismann and A.J. Ayer to name but a few. In recent years we have also brought to life reissues of several classic works from the Macmillan archives – a reissue of Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason  in its seminal translation by Norman Kemp-Smith, accompanied by a new extended bibliography by Kant scholar Gary Banham, as well as a three volume centenary series of works by Henri Bergson, including his Creative EvolutionMind-Energy and An Introduction to Metaphysics.
