Works of Phi­los­o­phy and Their Recep­tion (WPR) is a peer reviewed research plat­form pub­lish­ing col­lab­o­ra­tive vol­umes on works of phi­los­o­phy from antiq­ui­ty to the present. Each work is exam­ined from dif­fer­ent per­spec­tives. It is pre­sent­ed in its his­tor­i­cal and cul­tur­al con­text as well as in the con­tem­po­rary philo­soph­i­cal dis­course and framed with­in the author’s cor­pus. Var­i­ous arti­cles ana­lyze top­ics addressed in each work as well as ways in which these top­ics (and the work as a whole) have been tak­en up by lat­er philoso­phers and have influ­enced the his­to­ry of phi­los­o­phy and oth­er dis­ci­plines.

The inno­v­a­tive part of the project con­sists in its sys­tem­at­ic analy­sis of the recep­tion of philo­soph­i­cal works and ideas – not only from a philo­soph­i­cal per­spec­tive but also in rela­tion to oth­er dis­ci­plines. This makes this resource inter­est­ing for stu­dents and schol­ars of all the fields of Human­i­ties. Fur­ther­more, Works of Phi­los­o­phy and Their Recep­tion focus­es not only on canon­i­cal works of both West­ern phi­los­o­phy and oth­er philo­soph­i­cal tra­di­tions (Islam­ic phi­los­o­phy, Chi­nese phi­los­o­phy etc.), but also on less (or even not yet) explored works from dif­fer­ent tra­di­tions (e.g., works of women philoso­phers). The objec­tive of Works of Phi­los­o­phy and Their Recep­tion is to estab­lish itself as a research plat­form that opens new fields of inves­ti­ga­tion and to cross bridges between dif­fer­ent cul­tures and dis­ci­plines.
