\n Lecturae Platonis\n <\/h2>\n\n
\n

Edited by Maurizio Migliori \u2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Lecturae Platonis<\/strong><\/em> series aims to offer studies that commit to absolute respect for Plato\u2019s texts, hence the choice of the term \u2018Lecturae\u2019. The aim is to help those who want to understand the philosophical system that Plato outlines in his works.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

These contributions are mostly written in English, in order to allow for the broadest possible readership.<\/p>\n

\n Philosophy from Imperial Times to the End of Antiquity\n <\/h2>\n\n
\n

Edited by Cristina D\u2019Ancona, Filip Karfik, Benedikt Strobel, Christian Tornau, Angela Ulacco<\/strong><\/p>\n

The series aims to provide an international platform for interdisciplinary research on the history of Western ancient philosophy from, roughly, the 1st to the 7th century AD. While (Neo-)Platonism came to be the dominant philosophical paradigm of late antiquity, incorporating Aristotelian theorizing, other philosophical schools are also covered, including Christian thinkers. The series\u2019 emphasis is both on the philosophical content and the literary form of the transmitted texts and thus combines analytical and philological approaches. Edited by an international team of experts in the field of late ancient philosophy, the series features monographs as well as collective volumes and editions of ancient texts. Submissions in English, French, German or Italian are always welcome and will receive quick feedback.<\/p>\n

\n Supplementa Eleatica\n <\/h2>\n\n
\n

Edited by Stefania Giombini, Massimo Pulpito<\/strong><\/p>\n

Founded by Livio Rossetti<\/em><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\n Wittgensteiniana\n <\/h2>\n\n
\n

Edited by Jens Kertscher, Jan M\u00fcller<\/strong><\/p>\n

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<\/strong> <\/em>is indispensable for anyone who wants to engage intensively with the most important philosopher of the 20th century.<\/p>\n
