The Future for Philosophy

In putting together this collection, Brian Leiter showed the essential instincts of a good editor: find outstanding contributors and let them write on topics that engage them. Conversely, dont compromise on the quality of the pieces for the sake of the editorial architectonic. The result is a volume in which every paper is an excellent treatment of an important and interesting topic. . . . Leiters goal was to show the reader what philosophy is today, and what it ought to be tomorrow, a project that calls for covering the major areas of current philosophical inquiry and representing the main ways of approaching these areas. It is a further tribute to Leiters editorial abilities that the volume goes a considerable ways to meeting these goals. . . . [a] remarkable achievement . . . a very useful and highly stimulating account of what philosophy is and where it is going. Gary Gutting, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
