Why do some philosophical works persist over time, while others do not? The philosophical canon and diversity are topics of major debate today. This stimulating volume contains ten new essays by accomplished philosophers writing passionately about works in the history of philosophy that they feel were unjustly neglected or ignored-and why they deserve greater attention. The essays cover lesser known works by famous thinkers as well as works that were once famous but now only faintly remembered. Works examined include Gorgias'\u003cem\u003e Encomium of Helen\u003c\/em\u003e, Jane Adams' \u003cem\u003eWomen and Public Housekeeping\u003c\/em\u003e, W.E.B.
