Books and more books

This is turning into a busy year for books.  At the end of last week, my collection of papers in legal philosophy, Naturalizing Jurisprudence:  Essays on American Legal Realism and Naturalism in Legal Philosophy, was published in Britain in both cloth and paper by Oxford University Press (it should be "officially" out in the U.S. in the next month or two).   The previously published essays have been lightly revised for this volume, and there are three new pieces totalling about fifty pages:  an introductory essay, and two postscripts replying to a variety of critics.

Oxford University Press also recently published Nietzsche and Morality, a collection of new essays–both interpretive and philosophical–on Nietzsche’s moral philosophy that I edited with one of our outstanding doctoral students here at UT Austin, Neil Sinhababu.

In the fall, finally, OUP will publish The Oxford Handbook of Continental Philosophy, which I co-edited with Michael Rosen.

Readers and feedback would both be welcome!
