Beschreibung

The first anthology devoted to the theory and practice of all forms of public philosophy, A Companion to Public Philosophy brings together in a single volume the diverse practices, modalities, and perspectives of this rapidly growing field. Forty-two chapters written by established practitioners and newer voices alike consider questions ranging from the definition of public philosophy to the value of public philosophy to both society and philosophy itself. Throughout the book, philosophers offer insights into the different publics they have engaged, the topics they have explored, the methods they have used and the lessons they have learned from these engagements.

The Companion explores important philosophical issues concerning the practice of philosophy in the public sphere, how public philosophy relates to advocacy, philosophical collaborations with political activists, locations where public philosophy can be done, and more. Many essays highlight underserved topics such as effective altruism, fat activism, trans activism, indigenous traditions, and Africana philosophy, while other essays set the stage for rigorous debates about the nature, value, and philosophical significance of the practice of public philosophy.

A Companion to Public Philosophy is essential reading for philosophers from all walks of life who are invested in and curious about the ways that philosophy can impact the public and how the public can impact philosophy. It is also an excellent text for undergraduate and graduate courses on the theory and practice of public philosophy as well as broader courses on philosophy, normative ethics, and comparative and world philosophy.

Foreword

JASON STANLEY

It is a daunting task to introduce a volume of this range and importance, even more so when the audience at which it is directed are one’s professional colleagues. To professional philosophers, “public philosophy” resonates very differently than to those outside the academic discipline. The task of this volume is directed at professional philosophers rather than to a public that will decide for itself what is important and not important. Whether the public will be interested in something and interested in it because they regard it as philosophical will not ever be determined by what professional philosophers tell them they should be interested in. That is a false theory of the public. Some of what a public may regard as important philosophy might rightly be regarded by professional philosophers as something else, perhaps self‐help. Other times, professional philosophers might just be wrong about the scope of philosophy.

Insofar as someone needs to be convinced
