The first anthology devoted to the theory and practice of all forms
of public philosophy A Companion to Public Philosophy brings
together in a single volume the diverse practices, modalities, and
perspectives of this rapidly growing field. Forty-two chapters
written by established practitioners and newer voices alike
consider questions ranging from the definition of public philosophy
to the value of public philosophy to both society and philosophy
itself. Throughout the book, philosophers offer insights into the
different publics they have engaged, the topics they have explored,
the methods they have used and the lessons they have learned from
these engagements. The Companion explores important philosophical
issues concerning the practice of philosophy in the public sphere,
how public philosophy relates to advocacy, philosophical
collaborations with political activists, locations where public
philosophy can be done, and more. Many essays highlight underserved
topics such as effective altruism, fat activism, trans activism,
indigenous traditions, and Africana philosophy, while other essays
set the stage for rigorous debates about the boundaries of public
philosophy and its value as a legitimate way to do philosophy.
Discusses the range of approaches that professional philosophers
can use to engage with non-academic audiences Explores the history
and impact of public philosophy from the time of Socrates to the
modern era Highlights the work of public philosophers concerning
issues of equity, social justice, environmentalism, and medical
ethics Covers the modalities used by contemporary public
philosophers, including film and television, podcasting, internet
memes, and community-engaged teaching Includes essays by those who
bring philosophy to corporations, government policy, consulting,
American prisons, and activist groups across the political spectrum
A Companion to Public Philosophy is essential reading for
philosophers from all walks of life who are invested in and curious
about the ways that philosophy can impact the public and how the
public can impact philosophy. It is also an excellent text for
undergraduate and graduate courses on the theory and practice of
public philosophy as well as broader courses on philosophy,
normative ethics, and comparative and world philosophy.
