The Continuum Companions series is fast developing into a flagship series for the list. The Companions are comprehensive reference guides to major topics in the Humanities. Each Companion features contributions from an international team of leading scholars in the field. Crucially each book offers an authoritative guide to the latest research, as well as a variety of research tools, such as a chronology, glossary, comprehensive bibliography and guidance on research methods and resources. In Philosophy, there are five new titles to tell you about - read on to find out more:
The Continuum Companion to Philosophy of Mind is edited by James Garvey (Royal Institute of Philosophy) - across thirteen entries, experts in the field explore the current thinking in one of the most active areas of interest in philosophy today.
The Continuum Companion to the Philosophy of Science, which is edited by Steven French and Juha Saatsi (both Leeds), covers all the fundamental questions asked by the philosophy of science - areas that have continued to attract interest historically as well as topics that have emerged more recently as active areas of research.
The Continuum Companion to Philosophical Logic, edited by Leon Horsten and Richard Pettigrew (both Bristol), explores issues pertaining to classical logic and its rivals, extensional and intensional extensions of classical logic, semantics for parts of natural language, and the application of logic in the theory of rationality.
The Continuum Companion to Spinoza is edited by a team led by Wiep van Bunge (Rotterdam) - it is the first book to offer an accessible, encyclopedic account of Spinoza's life and ideas, his influences and commentators, his lasting significance.
The Continuum Companion to Leibniz, edited by Brandon C. Look (Kentucky), is a complete one-volume reference guide and represents an extremely valuable tool for those interested in Leibniz and the era in which he wrote.
