About the Series
New Waves in Philosophy is a new anthology series with Palgrave
Macmillan. The aim of this series is to gather the young and up-and-coming
scholars in philosophy to give their view of the subject now and in the
years to come, and to serve a documentary purpose i.e., “this is what they
said then, and this is what happened”. It will also provide a snap-shot of
cutting-edge research that will be of vital interest to researchers and
students working in all subject areas of philosophy.
The goal of the series is to have a New Waves volume in every one of
the main areas of philosophy. Each volume will normally be edited by two
academics, and typically the editors will organize a conference to coincide
with the launch of the volume. The subject areas and their volume editors
will be selected by the series editors but proposals for new volumes are
also welcome. Volume editors and contributors must normally meet the ‘Rutgers’ Rule’ which states that the scholars in question must be less than
ten years out of their PhD.

New Waves in Epistemology
Edited by Vincent Hendricks and Duncan. Pritchard
Epistemology has become one of the fastest moving disciplines in philosophy, as different answers are developed to classical problems, and logic, probability theory and computability are used for applications outside traditional epistemology. In this volume, up-and-coming scholars explore current trends and discuss prospects for future development.

New Waves in Aesthetics
Edited by K.Stock & K. Thomson-Jones
New Waves In Aesthetics is a collection of essays by leading young scholars on central issues in analytic aesthetics. Many of the topics taken up in the collection are familiar – including aesthetic judgment, aesthetic properties, the ontology of art, theories of art, metaphor, imagination, expressions, creativity and fiction. But the treatment of these topics is new, enriched by knowledge of the history of aesthetics, recent developments in the art world, and recent debates in other areas of philosophy and the humanities in general, as well as in cognitive science. Other topics in the collection may be less familiar, either because they draw our attention to oft-ignored aspects of art and aesthetic experience, such as the personification of art, or because they advocate revision of a widely accepted view – say, of the relation between the work of Kant and Arthur Danto. Overall, the diversity and rigour of the collection reflects the current liveliness, and confirms the bright future of analytic aesthetics.

New Waves in the Philosophy of Technology
Edited by J.B. Olsen, E Selinger & S.Riis
This volume on the philosophy of technology collects new work by the most talented young philosophers in the subject. It is a unique collection that crosses the divide between analytic and continental philosophy, showing that the rising challenges and extraordinary new possibilities brought about by technological developments necessitate the emergence of new forms of critical philosophical reflection.

New waves in Political Philosophyy
Edited by B.DeBruin &C. Zurn
This collection of essays breaks new ground by providing an unparalleled snapshot of new work in political philosophy. The book brings together up-and-coming scholars from across the globe using such diverse methodologies as critical theory and social choice theory, historical analysis and conceptual analysis. The volume demonstrates the vibrancy of contemporary political theorizing not only when treating perennial topics—democracy, equality, legitimacy, liberty, patriotism, political freedom, rationality—but also when revivifying topics briefly out of favor—human needs, ideology, judgment, political aesthetics—and tackling topics more recently put on the agenda—citizenship, collective agency, cultural contexts, feminism, identity, multiculturalism, social suffering, subjectivity.
