Sympathy: the History of a Concept Edited

The main goal of OPC is to offer philosophically subtle and historically sound accounts of central concepts in the history of philosophy. Each volume will be a history of its concept in that it will offer a story about the most significant events in the life of the concept from its original inception through its transformations to its modern use. The point of this narrative is to deepen understanding of the concept and explore its role in the history of philosophy. Volumes will include the best international scholars, “extraphilosophical” material or Reflections, a lexicon mapping the relation between the concept and terms referring to it, and thorough indices.
