Where does philosophy, the oldest academic subject, stand at the beginning of the millennium? This volume brings together leading figures from most major branches of the discipline to offer answers. It is suitable for philosophers themselves, but for those intrigued by the question of what philosophy has left to do.

Review from previous edition In putting together this collection, Brian Leiter showed the essential instincts of a good editor: find outstanding contributors and let them write on topics that engage them. Conversely, don't compromise on the quality of the pieces for the sake of the editorial architectonic. The result is a volume in which every paper is an excellent treatment of an important and interesting topic ... [a] remarkable achievement ... a very useful and highly stimulating account of what philosophy is and where it is going
