SHEW, M. G., Philosophy for Girls. An Invitation to a Life of Thought. Oxford University Press, 2020. 304p. Hardback. Though the volume centers on the idea of initiating girls and young women into philosophy and the tradition of thoughtful Persephone, the text is important for boys and men of all ages because it highlights gender biases and gaps in philosophy as well as recognizes the contribution of female scholars. The essays are well written and interesting, and will be significant in the fields of philosophy, women's studies, and gender issues. The text is accessible for those outside the field of philosophy as well. The etext and paperback are reasonably priced. This reviewer will be employing the book in her women philosophers course. A good resource for those who are interested in contemplation, identity, reasoning, and philosophical thinking... Summing Up: Recommended. Lower- and upper-division undergraduates; researchers and faculty; general readers. Choice |a 09/07/2021 (Publisher's information). € 111.42 (New) (MD)

[The Hsu-Tang Library] will open up a classical tradition that spans millennia, relatively little of which has ever been translated into English.

SHIEH, S., Necessity Lost. Modality and Logic in Early Analytic Philosophy, Volume 1. Oxford University Press, 2019. 466p. Hardback. Sanford Shieh has made a major contribution to our understanding of the origins of analytic philosophy. This big book is densely argued, full of surprising insights about topics where he finds that common opinions are just wrong.... One after another, he overturns our facile accounts of the origins of analytic philosophy, and finds other stories hidden in plain view in familiar texts. Each time Shieh argues with precision and care to his conclusion, with deft movement through detail, as we wait for the conclusion to come down on our head.... I'm keenly awaiting the appearance of Volume II of Shieh's monumental work. In the meantime, there is much to digest in the many riches in Volume I.
