Philosophers Behaving Badly Philosophers Behaving Badly is a 2005 book by Nigel Rodgers and Mel Thompson. The book's thesis is that the work and teachings of great philosophers cannot and should not be separated from their personal lives and problems. In this respect, the book's approach is completely new. The authors give as evidence numerous examples from the lives of 8 great philosophers (Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Arthur Schopenhauer, Friedrich Nietzsche, Bertrand Russell, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Martin Heidegger, Jean-Paul Sartre and Michel Foucault) to prove their claims. They emphasize, however, that their findings do not invalidate the thought of the philosophers concerned but shed new light on an old subject. The book was published in the U.K by Peter Owen Publishers and was praised as "fascinating and revealing" by Richard Edmonds in "The Birmingham Post" and by Peter Watson in "Times Higher Education" as "excellent", although Watson finally found its arguments rather inconclusive. It has also been criticized in both academic and non-academic spheres for its lack of academic rigour. However the authors do not claim it is a conventionally academic book.

Proceedings of the British Academy The Proceedings of the British Academy is a series of academic volumes on subjects in the humanities and social sciences. The first volume was published in 1905. Up to 1991, the volumes (appearing annually from 1927) mostly consisted of the texts of lectures and other papers read at the academy, plus obituary notices or "memoirs" of Fellows of the British Academy. From 1992 the "Proceedings" became an irregular series through the addition of thematic volumes of papers, typically derived from academic conferences held at the academy. After 2011-2012, the publication of the texts of lectures was transferred to the new online open access "Journal of the British Academy", and the publication of obituary notices was transferred to a separate "Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the British Academy" series. The "Proceedings of the British Academy" series therefore now focuses on the publication of themed volumes of essays, and is open to proposals from prospective volume editors.
