Call for Submissions

JHP Books publishes works in textual and archival history, scholarly editions and translations, and interpretative and contextual studies of philosophers and philosophical movements. We are particularly interested in innovative interpretations and contextual background studies that illuminate the positions and development of philosophers and philosophy. We are excited about bringing the twentieth century into the history of philosophy.

Recently published JHP Books include:

• Thomas H. Brobjer, Nietzsche and the "English": The Influence of British and American Thinking on His Philosophy
• New Interpretations of Berkeley's Thought, edited by Stephan H. Daniel
  
• Daniel C. Fouke, Philosophy and Theology in a Burlesque Mode: John Toland and "The Way of Paradox"
• Kevin J. Harrelson, The Ontological Argument from Descartes to Hegel
  
• Pierre-Daniel Huet, Against Cartesian Philosophy edited, translated, annotated, and introduced by Thomas M. Lennon.
• Skepticism in Renaissance and Post-Renaissance Thought: New Interpretations edited by José R. Maia Neto and Richard H. Popkin.
• Gary Steiner, Descartes as a Moral Thinker: Christianity, Technology, Nihilism.

The manuscript review process is, necessarily, a lengthy one. Submitted manuscripts will be screened by the JHP Books editor and, where appropriate, sent to at least two outside referees for peer review. After assessing the referees’ reports, the editor, where appropriate, will present the manuscript to Humanity Books (a scholarly imprint of Prometheus Books) for consideration for publication. Humanity Books will evaluate each manuscript presented to them to insure that the manuscript fits with their editorial program and also to insure that the manuscript has commercial viability as a published book. Humanity Books will make the final decision on publication. The JHP Books editors hope to be able to respond to authors within ten to twelve months of receiving a submitted manuscript.

Authors are expected to submit their manuscripts to one publisher at a time. If an author submits a manuscript for consideration for publication with JHP Books, we expect exclusivity in considering it until a publishing decision is made.

Please send all submissions to:
