“This volume is, all in all, a testimony of and a contribution to the vibrancy of the field.” (Howard Pollack-Milgate, The German Quarterly, Vol. 95 (3), 2022)“This volume is another milestone achievement by the dynamic duo who … organized numerous international symposia and publications and thereby brought to new life the global study of the history of philosophy in general, and galvanized the study of philosophy and literature in particular. … The overall quality of the essays is very high, and several make seminal contributions to scholarship. … This very rich collection thus promises to be a welcome signpost to future research.” (Henry W. Pickford, SYMPHILOSOPHIE, Issue 3, 2021)
