Aletheia Philosophy Series Title Nominated in the 40th National Book Awards


Aletheia Publishing is proud to announce that the first title of its Philosophy Series, Thought-Pieces: Nietzschean Reflections on Anti-foundationalism, Ethics, and Politics by Paolo A. BolaƱos has been selected as a finalist in the Best Book in Philosophy category of the 40th National Book Awards.

It is worth noting that this is the first time the prestigious award-giving institution has added a Philosophy category, as previous winners with similar or related subjects were placed under Best Book in Social Sciences. (In fact, because there was no Philosophy category when the above title was submitted to NBDB for consideration, it was initially endorsed under the Social Sciences category.)

This recognition by NBDB should reverberate in Filipino philosophical communities, hopefully encouraging professionals and practitioners to write (and subsequently publish) more outputs besides textbooks.

Aletheia Philosophy Series was launched last 2022 as an alternative venue (other than university presses and journals) to promote the philosophical outputs of Filipino philosophers. For those interested to know more about this series, you may visit this page.
