This excellent book offers a wide-ranging, accessibly written, and crucially important philosophical engagement of the nature of the humanities, achieving clarity about what has been an historically unwieldly categorization of disciplines to establish grounds for a philosophy of the humanities on par with that of science. Invaluable for scholars and students across disciplines, this study illuminates the distinctive possibilities for human self-knowledge and wisdom enabled by the humanities, illuminating and supporting their importance to academic and cultural life today.

Jennifer Gosetti-Ferencei, Professor in German and philosophy, Johns Hopkins University

This groundbreaking book offers the first comprehensive exploration of the Philosophy of the Humanities. While the History of the Humanities has gained recognition as a distinct field, its philosophical foundations remained underexplored-until now. This work lays the foundation for a unified field of History and Philosophy of the Humanities. This book will inspire you to reflect deeply on the enduring significance of the humanities and their role in shaping our understanding of the world."

Rens Bod, Professor of digital humanities and history of the humanities, University of Amsterdam

Co-authored by three philosophers, this ground-breaking book explores a range of new and classic questions concerning the humanities. For example, do the humanities (like the sciences) really make progress? Is there anything that unifies scholarship in the humanities, across fields as diverse as history, literary studies, philosophy, and musicology? And what should we make of the political aims of the humanities--for example, the desire by many scholars in the humanities to uncover systems of oppression and domination? Does this interfere with "objective" scholarship or not? In many ways this book is the first of its kind, considering new topics such as the value of replication studies in the humanities, and deference to other humanities scholars. A Philosophy of the Humanities offers new ways of thinking about the nature of the humanities and the distinctive contributions they make to human understanding.
