Bloomsbury Philosophy Library is a growing digital platform that provides access to primary texts in translation, secondary literature, exclusive articles, and encyclopedia entries. Through carefully curated collections of the original work and critical reception of key thinkers, it offers a breadth of coverage across the history of philosophy and cutting-edge contemporary thought.
The hub launches with two new collections, Bloomsbury 20th Century French Thought and Bloomsbury History of Modern Aesthetics. The existing Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of Philosophers resource will be migrated onto this hub with the goal to create the ultimate research hub in philosophy for students, scholars, and teachers.
