This year was an important one for the field of philosophy. As the year draws to a close, the OUP Philosophy team takes a moment to reflect. We’ve compiled a general selection of the key events, awards, anniversaries, and passings, which shaped philosophy in 2016. From the 2,400th anniversary of the birth of Aristotle, to the loss of Hilary Putnam, take a moment to browse our interactive timeline.
