The Cosmopolitan Tradition A Noble but Flawed Ideal Martha C. Nussbaum

“Profound, beautifully written, and inspiring. It proves that Nussbaum deserves her reputation as one of the greatest modern philosophers.” —Globe and Mail “At a time of growing national chauvinism, Nussbaum’s excellent restatement of the cosmopolitan tradition is a welcome and much- needed contribution...Illuminating and thought-provoking.” —Lior Erez,Times Higher Education Belknap Press 320 pp. $27.95 • £22.95 cloth 9780674052499

Reconstructing How Citizens Are Building from the Ground Up Charles Taylor • Patrizia Nanz • Madeleine Beaubien Taylor

“This is an urgent manifesto for the reconstruction of democratic belonging in our troubled times. In their theorizing of democracy as a resonant dynamic of local engagements, civic practices, and forms of collective agency, Charles Taylor, Patrizia Nanz, and Madeleine Beaubien Taylor offer robust philosophical and empirical solutions to the deep need for reestablishing a sense of trust in citizen participation and solidarity.” —Davide Panagia, author of The Political Life of Sensation 120 pp. $14.95 • £11.95 cloth 9780674244627

Magic and the Dignity of Man Pico della Mirandola and His Oration in Modern Memory Brian P. Copenhaver

“Erudite, original, and eloquent...The book reinterprets one of the most prominent thinkers of the Italian Renaissance in ways that will be widely discussed. No future interpretation of Pico’s life or work, no future reading of Renaissance philosophy, will be able to avoid engaging with it.” —Anthony Grafton, Princeton University “A must-read for anyone, especially historians of philosophy and intellectual historians, interested in the larger significance of the Renaissance.” —James Hankins, Harvard University Belknap Press 22 illus. 704 pp. $55.00 • £44.95 cloth 9780674238268

Cover art: ©Juj Winn/Getty Images Who Needs a World View? Raymond Geuss

“Geuss has undertaken in recent years to resuscitate the genre of the classical philosophical essay, and he has by now made himself an absolute master of it. This is abundantly evident in his new collection of essays, which takes us on a vertiginous and often exhilarating journey that easily passes from Homer to the present in pursuit of his leading question, ‘Who needs a world view?’” —Hans Sluga, University of California, Berkeley 3 illus. 208 pp. $35.00 • £28.95 cloth 9780674245938

The Logical Alien Conant and His Critics Edited by Sofia Miguens

“An exceptionally interesting and original work—one that is not so much an outstanding contribution to some ‘field’ within philosophy as a work capable of reshaping what one takes philosophy to be.” —Cora Diamond, author of Reading Wittgenstein with Anscombe, Going On to Ethics “These pages are filled with nuances in conceptual clarification, a wealth of philosophical distinctions, and a level of rigor in philosophical reflection that is rarely found on our philosophical planet. This book will hold a singular place in the contemporary philosophical landscape.” —Andrea Kern, author of Sources of Knowledge 1080 pp. $59.95 • £47.95 cloth 9780674335905

Theory of the Gimmick Aesthetic Judgment and Capitalist Form Sianne Ngai

“A masterpiece...It is a major advance in aesthetic theory, and Marxist theory in particular, one that could help us all get over our Frankfurt melancholy and down to the garrulous work of actually naming the dynamics that produce art and artistic judgment under capitalism.” —Christopher Nealon, author of The Matter of Capital Belknap Press 38 photos, 4 illus. 416 pp. $35.00 • £28.95 cloth 9780674984547 Automation and Utopia Human Flourishing in a World without Work John Danaher

“This is philosophy of technology at its best! Exquisitely clear, unflinchingly fair, and refreshingly original, Automation and Utopia is especially timely and important.” —Evan Selinger, Rochester Institute of Technology “With the precision of analytical philosophy and accessible, confident prose, Automation and Utopia demonstrates yet again why Danaher is one of our most important pathfinders to a flourishing future.” —James Hughes, Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies 13 illus., 2 tables 336 pp. $39.95 • £31.95 cloth 9780674984240

A Spirit of Trust A Reading of Hegel’s Phenomenology Robert B. Brandom

“Aspires to do for Hegel’s The Phenomenology of Spirit what Strawson’s The Bounds of Sense did for Kant’s The Critique of Pure Reason: to transpose a seminal work of German Idealism into the terminological idiom and argumentative key of anglophone analytic philosophy—not only to render a past classic newly available to the present, but to transform the philosophical present through such a re-inheritance of its past.” —James Conant, University of Chicago Belknap Press 18 illus., 3 tables 856 pp. $45.00 • £36.95 cloth 9780674976818

On the Shoulders of Giants Umberto Eco translated by Alastair McEwen “Like a collection of TED talks on philosophy and literary history, these 12 dazzling texts explore grand themes of intellectual curiosity such as beauty, secrecy, the invisible, and the sacred.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Delightful…Eco’s remarks on such broad topics as ‘Beauty’ and ‘Ugliness,’ ‘Some Revelations on Secrecy,’ and ‘Representations of the Sacred’ reveal his astonishingly wide range of interests.” —Publishers Weekly Belknap Press 336 pp. $27.95 North America only cloth 9780674240896

On Not Being Someone Else Tales of Our Unled Lives Andrew H. Miller

“Miller is charming company, both humanly and intellectually. He is onto something: the theme of unled lives, and the fascinating idea that fiction intensifies the sense of provisionality that attends all lives. An extremely attractive book.” —James Wood “Reminds us just how alluring and confounding our singularity is and how, through literature, we make sense of being ourselves. To be someone—to be anyone—is about being someone and not being someone else. Miller’s amused and inspired book is utterly compelling about this, and about so much else.” —Adam Phillips, author of One Way and Another 3 illus. 232 pp. $29.95 • £23.95 cloth 9780674238084

Home in America On Loss and Retrieval Thomas Dumm

“Thomas Dumm has endowed new intellectual life in the politics of location. This is a wise, sensitive, poetic, and relentlessly thought- ful inquiry into the meanings of being at home today. Among other things, it offers a convincing and elaborate answer to Adorno’s old assertion that the highest form of morality involves systematic es- trangement from the possibility of feeling at home in your own home.” —Paul Gilroy, author of The Black Atlantic Belknap Press 320 pp. $35.00 • £28.95 cloth 9780674057715

Smellosophy What the Nose Tells the Mind A. S. Barwich

“This is the book on perception we have been waiting for: a scientifically-informed and philosophically astute treatment of our elusive sense of smell. A. S. Barwich skillfully guides us through the history of its study, recent discoveries, and philosophical theorizing about smell, and, in doing so, makes a significant contribution to all three.” —Barry C. Smith, Centre for the Study of the Senses, University of London 8 photos, 9 illus., 1 table 384 pp. $35.00 • £28.95 cloth 9780674983694

Legitimacy The Right to Rule in a Wanton World Arthur Isak Applbaum

“Few words are more important in politics than ‘legitimacy,’ and few are so flagrantly misused. Arthur Applbaum sets us straight, with an exemplary display of philosophical clarity, passion, and insight. Once you’ve read him, you will never misuse the word again.” —Michael Ignatieff, President, Central European University 7 tables 304 pp. $39.95 • £31.95 cloth 9780674983465

Bejan ★ A New Statesman Best Book of the Year ★ A Church Times Book of the Year “Penetrating and sophisticated.” —New York Times Book Review “A deeply admirable book: original, persuasive, witty, and eloquent. It is also admirably, bracingly, skeptical, in the best sense: the kind of liberal skepticism that we associate in political theory with Judith Shklar, Bernard Williams, and George Kateb.” —Jacob T.

NEW IN PAPER To Shape a New World Essays on the Political Philosophy of Martin Luther King, Jr. edited by Tommie Shelby • Brandon M. Terry

“Fascinating and instructive…King’s philosophy, speaking to us through the written word, may turn out to constitute his most enduring legacy.” —New York Review of Books “A compelling work of philosophy, all the more so because it treats King seriously without inoculating him from the kind of critique important to both his theory and practice.” —Shivani Radhakrishnan, Los Angeles Review of Books “Firmly situates Dr. King in the canon of American political thought... This is a must-read in our time.” —Eddie S. Glaude, Princeton University Belknap Press 464 pp. $18.95 • £15.95 paper 9780674237834
