2019 CPA Book Prize Winners Announced/L'ACP annonce les lauréats du Prix de livre 2019

JUNE 2, 2019 | Arash Abizadeh’s monograph, “Hobbes and the Two Faces of Ethics,” has been awarded the 2019 Canadian Philosophical Association Biennial Book Prize (English). The jury writes that “This is an outstanding book, one of the best books on early modern philosophy in the past 10 years. It exemplifies how history of philosophy should be done these days, combining mastery of Hobbes’s works and a sophisticated use of the conceptual apparatus of contemporary work on metaethics...No serious scholar of Hobbes and early modern moral philosophy can ignore this book and it should become an instant classic. Contemporary philosophers, especially those working on metaethics, will also benefit.”
