Founded in 1992, the Value Inquiry Book Series (VIBS) is dedicated to publishing philosophical scholarship across the full range of value inquiry, with particular attention to contemporary problems of value(s) and valuation as they arise within specific fields, practices, and contexts. In an era marked by heightened global complexity and uncertainty, the study of values is particularly important, both as a source of intellectual and ethical orientation and as a resource for imagining and shaping viable futures. VIBS supports work that not only analyzes such challenges but also reflects on the normative commitments underlying scholarly and social practices themselves. The series promotes interdisciplinary dialogue by bringing philosophy into sustained engagement with areas such as social and political thought, ethics, aesthetics, religious studies, law, human rights, media and cultural studies, and other evolving domains of inquiry. It places particular emphasis on contributions that recognize the embeddedness of values within diverse historical and institutional settings. Equally central to its mission is a commitment to the plurality of global perspectives: VIBS actively seeks scholarship that engages and reflects the richness of different cultural, intellectual, and religious traditions, recognizing that value inquiry must be responsive to this diversity. VIBS welcomes original monographs that combine rigorous theoretical and conceptual debate with clear contemporary relevance, as well as edited volumes that demonstrate strong thematic coherence and sustained scholarly dialogue. Through these contributions, the series aims to advance understanding of values as both enduring points of reference and dynamic forces that inform and guide responses to the pressing challenges of our time as well as opening imaginaries of the world to come.
