De Gruyter has launched an ambitious new project called “Works of Philosophy and Their Reception” (see here). It emphasizes both translation and commentary on a wide range of philosophical works. From the website:
The innovative part of the project consists in its systematic analysis of the reception of philosophical works and ideas – not only from a philosophical perspective but also in relation to other disciplines. This makes this resource interesting for students and scholars of all the fields of Humanities. Furthermore, Works of Philosophy and Their Reception focuses not only on canonical works of both Western philosophy and other philosophical traditions (Islamic philosophy, Chinese philosophy etc.), but also on less (or even not yet) explored works from different traditions (e.g., works of women philosophers). The objective of Works of Philosophy and Their Reception is to establish itself as a research platform that opens new fields of investigation and to cross bridges between different cultures and disciplines.
The site also lists planned and published works; those from the Chinese tradition include:
- The Lunheng (Evaluating Discourse) (ed. Alexus McLeod)
- The Wenzi (ed. Andrej Fech)
- The Xunzi (ed. Winnie Sung)
