LINES OF THOUGHT SERIES

ABOUT

Since 2001, the Society has been engaged in a publishing venture in conjunction with Oxford University Press, to produce a series of short philosophical books known as the Lines of Thought series.

There are currently six volumes in this new series:

• Jerry A. Fodor, Hume Variations (2003)
“Brilliant new contribution from one of the world’s most important philosophers.”

• David O. Brink, Perfectionism and the Common Good: Themes in the Philosophy of T.H. Green (2003)
“The rediscovery of a great philosopher that restores perfectionism to the agenda of ethical theory.”

• Mark Eli Kalderon, Moral Fictionalism (2005)

• Jason Stanley, Knowledge and Practical Interests (2005)

• Michael Dummett, Thought and Reality (2006)
“In this short, lucid, rich book, Sir Michael Dummett, perhaps the most eminent living British philosopher, sets out his views about some of the deepest questions in philosophy.”

• Robert C. Stalnaker, Our Knowledge of the Internal World (2008)
“Robert Stalnaker argues that we can understand our knowledge of our thoughts and feelings only by viewing ourselves from the outside.”
