  • book cover
    Genealogies of Terrorism: Revolution, State Violence, Empire (by Verena Erlenbusch-Anderson)
    This 2018 book rejects attempts to define what terrorism is in favor of a historico-philosophical investigation into the conditions under which uses of this contested term become meaningful. The result is a powerful critique of the power relations that shape how we understand and theorize political violence.
  • Oxford Handbook of Applied Philosophy of Language
    The Oxford Handbook of Applied Philosophy of Language (co-edited by Luvell Anderson)
    This 2024 book offers thought-provoking essays by leading and emerging philosophers that cover a broad range of areas where philosophy engages with linguistic aspects of our social world, including such hot topics as dehumanizing speech, dogwhistles, taboo language, pornography, appropriation, implicit bias, speech acts, and the ethics of communication.
  • Routledge Companion to the Philosophy of Race
    The Routledge Companion to the Philosophy of Race (co-edited by Luvell Anderson)
    This 2020 book offers in one comprehensive volume 37 chapters by the world's leading analytic and continental philosophers on the history of philosophy and race, and examines how race might be investigated within the frameworks of contemporary philosophy.
  • Semantics for Reasons
    Semantics for Reasons (by Bryan Weaver and Kevin Scharp)
    This 2019 book aims to present and defend a contextualist semantics of reasons locutions, which play a fundamental role in ethics and other areas of contemporary philosophy. The authors then use the contextualist theory to weigh in on central debates in the theory of reasons.
  • Replacing Truth
    Replacing Truth (by Kevin Scharp)
    This 2013 book presents a theory that truth is an inconsistent concept, advocating its replacement for theoretical purposes with 'ascending truth' and 'descending truth'. The author introduces a new possible-worlds semantics and proposes viewing truth as a rational phenomena measurement system to handle the liar and other paradoxes.
  • In the Space of Reasons: Selected Essays of Wilfrid Sellars
    In the Space of Reasons: Selected Writings of Wilfrid Sellars (Eds. by Scharp and Brandom)
    This 2007 book is a comprehensive collection of sixteen pivotal papers by Wilfrid Sellars, a prominent figure in twentieth-century analytic philosophy. Gathering his often scattered and elusive works, it aims to provide a definitive anthology of Sellars' significant contributions.
  • Anscombe's Intention: A Guide
    Anscombe's Intention: A Guide (by John Schwenkler)
    This 2019 book offers a careful and critical presentation of main lines of argument in G.E.M. Anscombe's classic, Intention, at a level appropriate to advanced undergraduates but also capable of benefiting specialists in action theory, moral philosophy, and the history of analytic philosophy.
