Eduardo Mendieta has passed away. He was a friend and mentor to me, and he was responsible for so much of the activity in Latin American philosophy in the US in 90s and 00s. He is sorely missed.

Weighing in at 827 pages and 2 1/4 inches, our Oxford Handbook of American and British Women Philosophers in the 19th Century is HERE! Huge thanks to @oupphilosophy.bsky.social and our 50+ authors. Restoring women to the philosophical canon is a matter of justice, but it is also better scholarship!

To explore this approach, we aim to bring experts and scholars from ten different traditions in
conversation with each other and contemporary epistemologists. These will include some of the perspectives from the Africana, Arabic, Chinese, Early Modern European, Greek, Indigenous Andean, Jewish, Latin American, Medieval Latin, and South Asian traditions.
