Philosophers in Depth Series Editor: Constantine Sandis Philosophers in Depth is a series of themed edited collections focusing on partic- ular aspects of the thought of major figures from the history of philosophy. The volumes showcase a combination of newly commissioned and previously published work with the aim of deepening our understanding of the topics covered. Each book stands alone, but taken together the series will amount to a vast collection of critical essays covering the history of philosophy, exploring issues that are central to the ideas of individual philosophers. This project was launched with the financial support of the Institute for Historical and Cultural Research at Oxford Brookes University, for which we are very grateful.

First I would like to thank Constantine Sandis for giving me the opportunity to put this volume together. His kind invitation was perfectly timed since the publication of this volume marks the end of the research project I have been working on together with Cain Todd, thanks to the generous grant awarded by the F ond National Suisse de la recherche scientifique (Université de Neuchâtel and Fribourg, ‘Imagination, Emotion and Value’, 2011–14). I want to express my gratitude to all the contributors for making my life much easier by providing fantastic contributions. I would like to thank Marcia Baron, Christine Korsgaard and Nancy Sherman in particular for their invaluable help in securing the permissions to reprint their papers. My thanks are also due to an anonymous external reader whose positive comments and feedback were of great assistance whilst assembling the contributions. Finally, I am grateful to Priyanka Gibbons, Melanie Blair and Brendan George for their help and understanding when inevitable delays emerged, and Jonathan Head for putting together the index. On a more personal note, I would like to thank Cain Todd for his whole-hearted encouragement in spite of his Humean sympathies, and Noa for her special brand of joyful support. She has been part of this project in more ways than one, and she has certainly been a constant source of both emotion and value. I would like to thank the editors and publishers of the following arti- cles for the permission to reproduce these materials here.
