From ancient conceptions of becoming a philosopher to modern discussions of psychedelic drugs, the concept of transformation plays a fascinating part in the history of philosophy. However, until now there has been no sustained exploration of the full extent of its role.
 
Transformation and the History of Philosophy is an outstanding survey of the history, nature, and development of the idea of transformation, from the ancient period to the twentieth century. Comprising twenty-two specially commissioned chapters by an international team of contributors, the volume is divided into four clear parts:
 
✓ Philosophy as Transformative: Ancient China, Greece, India, and Rome
✓ Transformation Between the Human and the Divine: Medieval and Early Modern Philosophy
✓ Transformation After the Copernican Revolution: Post-Kantian Philosophy
✓ Treatises, Pregnancies, Psychedelics, and Epiphanies: Twentieth-Century Philosophy
 
Each of these sections begins with an introduction by the editors. Transformation and the History of Philosophy is essential reading for students and researchers in the history of western and non-western philosophy, ethics, metaphysics, and aesthetics. It will also be extremely useful for those in related disciplines such as religion, sociology, and the history of ideas.
