The Transforming Political Philosophy book series is committed to bringing new ideas from the margins to the center of today’s conversation in political philosophy. The series is open both to theoretical as well as applied political and social philosophy from all traditions and
contexts.
To promote the series, we would like to invite submissions of manuscripts for a competition. While we will assess all submissions and offer contracts to those fulfilling the standards of excellence, from all submissions accepted for publication, the jury will also select the best submission to be publishedOpen Access without any fees for the author.
The following eligibility criteria apply:
• Deadline for submission: Dec 1, 2025
• Submissions include a full book proposal (incl. a tentative table of content) together with 50% of the manuscript (at least two full chapters).

• Submissions should not have been published in any way before; however, we accept up to 35% pre-published content in the final book as long as the rights are with the author.
• Submissions should not be under review elsewhere.
• Submissions should meet the scope and goals of the series. Works with an applied focus on global issues, works within philosophy of disability, trans* philosophy, feminist philosophy, critical race studies, environmental justice, indigenous philosophy, Critical Theory, non-ideal theory, and ecofeminism (to name but a few) are particularly welcome.
