At King's College London there is terrific, megalomaniac project underway: History of Philosophy without any gaps! (Thanks to Robbie Williams for the pointer.) I adore such projects that are doomed to failure! (Yes, I admit to early exposure to Camus.) Just to give a sense of the magnitude of the task: note how incomplete even the Plato sections are thus far: no Laws, Ion, Charmides, Menexenus, etc!) But I am even more sad (sadder?) that Gorgias (the philosopher-sophist not the Platonic work [I am grateful to Rachel Barney for introducing me to him]), Philolaus, and all of Xenophon's works are overlooked so far!
