Dr. Richard Taylor Honored
Dr. Richard Taylor is the recipient of an impressive Festschrift prepared in his honor: Contextualizing Premodern Philosophy: Explorations of the Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, and Latin Traditions (Routledge, 2023). The collection presents a valuable account of Taylor’s work with the 100+ member Aquinas and ‘the Arabs’ International Working (AAIWG).  It also features chapters by two long-standing colleagues, Dr. David Twetten and Dr. Owen Goldin, and Marquette alumnus, Dr. Brett Yardley. This volume attests to Marquette’s international reputation in the field of philosophy, including its strong representation in ancient and medieval Philosophy. The volume is available through Open Access at Routledge’s website. The print version will be appearing later this Spring.
