"As Philosophy, Politics and Economics rapidly grows as an important scholarly discipline, it is important to make sure that there is a venue for the very best work," states Muldoon, "The editors of Oxford's new book series have assembled an incredibly prestigious Editorial Board, and are looking forward to putting together a stellar book list."
Societies face complex challenges

Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) is coming of age as a distinct area of research of high social relevance. Modern societies face complex challenges, including those associated with immigration, inequality, trade, discrimination, disease, environmental degradation, pluralism, and technological change. PPE can foster a more robust interdisciplinary approach to these challenges.
The new Oxford University Press book series on Philosophy, Politics and Economics provides a home for PPE research ranging from fundamental theoretical issues to pressing questions of public policy. Across the board, the series aims to publish work that integrates philosophy, political science, and economics (and, indeed, all the social sciences) to tackle or solve important theoretical and policy questions. We are self-consciously ecumenical about the scope and focus of work in the series: PPE can and should range broadly and we are excited to explore its frontiers.

Current Research
Muldoon's research aim has been developing New Diversity Theory, a novel approach to social and political philosophy that he first began developing in his 2016 book Social Contract Theory for a Diverse World. His work emphasizes the value of diversity, dynamism and discovery. His work, which ranges from political philosophy to the philosophy of science, relies on the tools and insights of the interdisciplinary field of Philosophy, Politics and Economics.
