Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz
Remembered mainly as a logician and mathematician, Leibniz also endeavored to resolve political and religious conflicts of his day by bringing opponents into negotiation. The dialectical Leibniz who emerges from the texts here translated, commented, and interpreted is certainly not the familiar one. The book sheds new light on the familiar, yet incomplete image of Leibniz, providing further reason for cherishing and cultivating the heritage of a truly great man.

Varieties of Scientific Realism
This book offers a comprehensive update on the scientific realism debate, enabling readers to gain a novel appreciation of the role of objectivity and truth in science and to understand fully the various ways in which antirealist conceptions have been subjected to challenge over recent decades. Authoritative representatives of different philosophical traditions explain their perspectives on the meaning and validity of scientific realism and describe the strategies being adopted to counter persisting antirealist positions. The coverage extends beyond the usual discussion of realism within the context of the natural sciences, and especially physics, to encompass also its applicability in mathematics, logic, and the human sciences. The book will appeal to all with an interest in the recent realist epistemologies of science, the nature of current philosophical debate, and the ongoing rehabilitation of truth as the legitimate goal of scientific research.
The Poetry in Philosophy
In this wide-ranging volume, seventeen distinguished scholars come together to honor the life and scholarship of Christos C. Evangeliou. The papers examine topics he is well-known for, including the origins, character, and influence of Hellenic philosophy; its place among the other philosophies of the ancient and modern world; and its relation to religious rites, athletic contests, and daily life. Most eras of Hellenic philosophy are touched on, including the Presocratics, Plato, Aristotle, Hellenistic philosophers, Neoplatonism, and Byzantine philosophy. Topics treated range from democracy, vegetarianism, and the environment, to consciousness, moral epistemology, free will, and happiness. Philosophy in poetry and poetry in philosophy are discussed through such figures as Homer, Parmenides, Aeschylus, Plutarch, and Cavafy. A selection of Evangeliou's own philosophical poetry is included at the end.
