Oxford Studies in Metaphysics
Oxford Studies in Metaphysics is an annual edited series of scholarly essays on metaphysical topics published by Oxford University Press. The series aims to present original research on topics ranging from modality to persistence, grounding to personal identity, and properties to persistence, offering contributions by established scholars and emerging voices. Volumes regularly appear in the catalogues associated with leading departments and institutes in Oxford University's broader publishing network.
The series brings together essays engaging debates traced to figures such as Aristotle, Immanuel Kant, David Lewis, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, and Plato, while intersecting with work by contemporary philosophers like Saul Kripke, Hilary Putnam, David Armstrong, C. D. Broad, and P.F. Strawson. It situates topics in relation to methodological currents associated with institutions such as Princeton University, Harvard University, University of Cambridge, Yale University, and University of California, Berkeley. Contributors often draw on arguments from discussions linked with the National Humanities Center, Russellian tradition, analytic philosophy lineages, and debates shaped by prizes like the Rolf Schock Prize and awards from the American Philosophical Association.
The series emerged in the early 2000s in the milieu of renewed interest in metaphysical inquiry that followed influential books and symposia involving scholars affiliated with Rutgers University, New York University, University of St Andrews, University of Pittsburgh, and Australian National University. Its formation paralleled editorial projects from presses such as Cambridge University Press, Princeton University Press, and Routledge. Early volumes featured contributors linked to seminar traditions at King’s College London, University of Toronto, Columbia University, Brown University, and research centres like the Institute for Advanced Study and the British Academy.
Editorial oversight has been provided by philosophers associated with departments at Oxford University, University of Notre Dame, University of Chicago, University of Michigan, and University of Edinburgh. Contributors include scholars with appointments or affiliations at institutions such as Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cornell University, Duke University, University College London, Brown University, University of California, Los Angeles, Princeton University (separately linked for faculty), Yale University (separately linked for faculty), and leading European departments like Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and Humboldt University of Berlin. Essays often feature thinkers whose work has intersected with projects funded by bodies such as the Templeton Foundation, the European Research Council, and national research councils like the Leverhulme Trust.
Volumes are typically published in hardcover and paperback, and distributed through channels associated with Oxford University Press and academic vendors used by libraries at places including British Library, Library of Congress, and major university libraries at University of Oxford and Harvard University. Each volume is edited and contains peer-reviewed essays, response pieces, and occasionally bibliographic overviews tied to conferences held at venues like All Souls College, Oxford, The Royal Institution, The British Museum, and international workshops at Notre Dame, Princeton, and Yale. The editorial process mirrors standards used by journals such as The Journal of Philosophy, Mind (journal), Philosophical Review, and Nous, with ISBNing and indexing following conventions of the International Standard Book Numbering system.
Several volumes gained attention for essays engaging problems debated by figures like W.V.O. Quine, G.E. Moore, Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, and Bertrand Russell. Essays have addressed positions advanced in works such as On Denoting, Naming and Necessity, Being and Time, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, and An Inquiry into Meaning and Truth. Contributors who later published monographs with Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, Princeton University Press, Routledge, and MIT Press often tested chapters in the series. Specific essays have been cited in debates featuring scholars from Columbia University, University of Pennsylvania, Johns Hopkins University, University of California, San Diego, and University of British Columbia.
Scholarly reception has situated the series alongside influential outlets and conferences that shape analytic metaphysics, drawing engagement from researchers at Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, PhilPapers, American Philosophical Association, Society for Exact Philosophy, and editorial discussions in periodicals like Philosophy and Phenomenological Research. The series has informed graduate curricula at programs including University of Pittsburgh, University of Notre Dame, University of Michigan, The New School for Social Research, and University of California, Irvine. Its impact can be traced through citations in monographs and dissertations produced at institutions such as Princeton University, Harvard University, Yale University, Oxford University, Cambridge University, and policy-influencing humanities reports at the British Academy.
Comparable series include edited volumes produced by Cambridge Studies in Philosophy, collections from Princeton University Press and Routledge, and thematic series associated with journals like Mind (journal and Philosophical Studies. Other comparative projects appear in series from Bloomsbury Academic, Wiley-Blackwell, Palgrave Macmillan, and specialist collections edited under the auspices of institutes such as the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences and the Kavli Foundation.
