Our book series is not only open for publications of our members and annual meetings, but to all innovative and high-quality contributions on Classical Political Thought and its reception.

Lecturae Platonis

Edited by Maurizio Migliori †

The Lecturae Platonis series aims to offer studies that commit to absolute respect for Plato’s texts, hence the choice of the term ‘Lecturae’. The aim is to help those who want to understand the philosophical system that Plato outlines in his works.

This is why the series does not only publish specific works on individual dialogues, but also collective contributions that revolve around a single theme. The editor is also interested in a methodical form of reflection that overcomes the limits of a fragmented approach to the text, thus reviving the great philosophical and philological tradition and respecting the typically Platonic systemic principle of the prevalence of the whole over the parts. Finally, the editor accepts contributions that clarify the relationship between Platonic philosophy and its successors.

These contributions are mostly written in English, in order to allow for the broadest possible readership.

Supplementa Eleatica

Edited by Stefania Giombini, Massimo Pulpito

Founded by Livio Rossetti

Starting since 2019, the Eleatica series gives rise to a second side project, Eleatica Supplementa. The aim of this sub-series is to publish outstanding monographs or essay collections on Eleaticism, so as to offer a further contribute to the scientific literature on the issue. While Eleatica proposes debates among leading specialists in the field, focused on the lectiones magistrales of a well-known scholar, the Supplementa present in-depth studies on specific topics written by scholars that put forward innovative or particularly relevant interpretations. The series is addressed primarily to the community of specialists in Ancient Philosophy, but also to students and more generally the cultured public interested in the origins of Western thought.

Wittgensteiniana

Edited by Jens Kertscher, Jan Müller

The series makes the philosophical, literary and artistic exploration of the life and work of Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) accessible to a wide range of interested parties. Carefully edited monographs and thematically organised anthologies by well-known Wittgenstein experts and younger researchers open up Wittgenstein’s thought in its many ramifications. At the same time, the Wittgensteiniana makes the historical and systematic prerequisites of his work recognisable and opens up the potential that the study of Wittgenstein offers for the sciences and for future philosophy. In short, the Wittgensteiniana is indispensable for anyone who wants to engage intensively with the most important philosopher of the 20th century.
