    Lloyd Strickland is a British philosopher, intellectual historian, Leibniz scholar, and translator of early modern philosophical texts. He is Professor of Philosophy and Intellectual History at Manchester Metropolitan University.[4]

    Recent work

    Strickland was awarded a Mid-Career Fellowship in 2017 from

    The British Academy for work on the original manuscript of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz’s 1686 Examen religionis Christianae (Examination of the Christian Religion).[5] Later, the Gerda Henkel Foundation [de; cs; es] awarded him a Forschungsstipendium (research scholarship); this was to support Strickland’s work with American computer scientist Harry Lewis in writing Leibniz on Binary: The Invention of Computer Arithmetic, which was published in November 2022.[6]

    Strickland is known for his work on Leibniz, including several volumes of English translations, of which Leibniz on Binary is the latest. It is one of his important contributions to the history of

    base-16 numeration.[9]

    Strickland has also become known for his work identifying racially-motivated negationism in the formation of the Western philosophical canon[10][11] and has called for the recuperative broadening of the Western philosophical curriculum.[12] He has also specifically advocated the teaching of African traditional philosophies.[13][14]

    Notes

    1. ^ Some sources, such as his International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI)[1] and the EThOS catalogue entry for his doctoral thesis,[2] erroneously give his name as “Lloyd H. Strickland”. The name with the middle initial is that of an American social psychologist who began publishing before the philosopher was born.
