The Muirhead Library of Philosophy was an influential series which published some of the best writings of twentieth century philosophy. The original programme was drawn up by John Muirhead and published in Erdmann's History of Philosophy in 1890. This statement was published in slightly altered form in subsequent volumes.
It has since been forgotten with the waning of the influence of some of the published philosophers. Among the authors published are: Bernard Bosanquet, Axel Hägerström, G. W. F. Hegel, Bertrand Russell, Nicolai Hartmann, J. N. Findlay, Brand Blanshard, Henri Bergson, H. H. Price, F. H. Bradley, G. S. Brett, A. H. Johnson, Roderick Chisholm, Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, John Henry Muirhead, Joel Kupperman, G. F. Stout, George Edward Moore, Edmund Husserl, R. J. Hirst, H. J. Paton, William Marshall Urban, Max Black, Morris Lazerowitz and others. Some of the books in the series are:
The importance of this series can be judged by the list of masterpieces in Frank Magill's World Masterpieces of Philosophy in Digest Form, which includes many of the works from this series in its overview of twentieth century philosophy.
