Contact the Anthology Editor
We welcome editorial correspondence from readers who use the Philosophy & Ethics Library. The quickest way to reach us is by email at [email protected]. Please include as much detail as you can about the title or page you are referring to, so that we can investigate promptly.
When to write
You might consider contacting us if you notice:
- Incorrect title or author metadata — a misattribution, a misspelled name, or a title that does not match the work. For example, if a work by Iamblichus appears under a different author, or if the title of a reading companion like Select works of Porphyry — Reading Companion is incorrectly linked.
- Category placement — a book that seems to belong in a different section of the catalogue, such as a philosophy text placed under archaeology, or a guide to classical cultures that would be better suited to the philosophy section.
- Unreadable files or reader failures — a download that will not open, missing pages, garbled text, or formatting that makes the book difficult to read. This includes issues with specific formats like ePub, PDF, or Kindle.
- Accessibility problems — issues with screen-reader compatibility, poor contrast, or missing alt text for illustrations. We aim to make our ebooks usable by everyone, and your reports help us improve.
- Privacy questions — concerns about how your data is handled when you browse or download. We take your privacy seriously and will address any questions you have.
- Copyright or rights concerns — if you believe a work in our catalogue is not in the public domain in your jurisdiction, or if you hold rights and wish to discuss removal. Please provide any relevant legal context.
- General editorial observations — suggestions for new titles, corrections to our reading guides, or any other feedback that helps us improve the library. For instance, you might recommend adding a reading companion for A Treatise of Human Nature or updating the context notes for Yoga as philosophy and religion.
What to include in your message
To help us respond accurately, please provide:
- The full URL of the page where you encountered the issue.
- The exact ebook title and, if applicable, the file format (ePub, PDF, Kindle, etc.).
- A brief description of the problem, including the device or browser you were using. For example, if a download fails on a specific browser version, that detail is helpful.
- Any supporting information, such as a screenshot or a citation from a reliable source, especially for rights or metadata concerns.
We read every message and take each report seriously. Because we are a small independent operation, we cannot guarantee a same-day reply, but we do aim to acknowledge your email within a reasonable time. If you have not received a response after a week, feel free to follow up.
Editorial independence
All correspondence is handled by Henry Conrad, Anthology Editor. We do not share your email address or the content of your message with third parties, and we will only use your details to respond to your inquiry. If you have a privacy-related question that you prefer not to put in writing, please mention that in your subject line, and we will treat it with extra care.
We look forward to hearing from you. Your attention helps keep the Philosophy & Ethics Library accurate, accessible, and trustworthy for every reader.
