David Braybrooke is one of the most important figures in North American philosophy. His work in political philosophy is both prolific and significant and he has made a number of contributions to the philosophical corpus with books on topics as diverse as utilitarianism, natural law, and moral objectives. Engaged Philosophy is a collection of original essays written in honour of Braybrooke by some of his colleagues and students at Halifax's Dalhousie University.The collection covers ideas and themes introduced by Braybrooke in his work and a wide range of Braybrooke's interests, ranging from various topics in moral philosophy to issues in the philosophy of social science. It is divided into two main parts: 'Practical Engagement,' which explores some of the practical implications of Braybrooke's work, and 'Theoretical Engagement,' which explores some of the theoretical issues at the heart of his work. Engaged Philosophy is an invaluable collection for anyone who has engaged with Braybrooke's writings or is interested in the future directions North American philosophy might take.Contributors:Nathan BrettBryson BrownSteven BurnsRichard CampbellSue CampbellMichael HymersEdna KeebleDuncan MacIntoshMeredith RalstonPeter SchotchSusan SherwinSharon SutherlandTom Vinci

Paraconsistent logic is a theory of reasoning in philosophy that studies inconsistent data. The discipline has several different schools of thought, including preservationism, which responds to the problems that arise when human beings continue to reason when faced with inconsistent data. On Preserving is the first complete account of the Preservationist School, which developed in Canada out of the early work of Raymond Jennings, Peter Schotch, and their students.Assembling the previously scattered works of the Preservationist School, this collection contains all of the most significant works on the basic theory of the preservationist approach to paraconsistent logic. With essays both written and rewritten specifically for this volume, the contributors cover topics that include the motivation for the preservationist approach, as well as more technical results of their research. Concise and unified, On Preserving is the ideal introduction to a distinct philosophical field.
