Martin Cohen – Editor

This is a part-time post that allows me to get on with my own writing projects, including books. These days I spend most of my time working on my own books, researching, writing and the often forgotten "marketing" aspects!

For the University of Pau, the idea of this post is to help their students, who are typically native French speakers to really get both their written and spoken English up to the highest standard . But my role is also to improve the ability of students to argue and present their views and ideas

I have been Editor of The Philosopher for over twenty years. This requires me to help authors to prepare their ideas as short articles for a worldwide audience of non=secialist, general readers. Often my contributors and authors are working in a second language with complex material.

Since 2012, I have also co-edited a website called 'Philosophical Investigations' which looks at a wider range of issues in the arts and sciences, but at much shorter length. This so-called 'blog' format typically of less than 1000 words.

I have written numerous books for various publishers, including the two '101 Philosophy' books for Routledge (Taylor and Francis) that between them have been translated into over 20 languages and sold over 250 000 copies.

I have shepherded authors through books too, notably my dictionary of philosophy and ethics for Hodder, and as editor of the popular journal 'The Philosopher'.
