"A genial exercise in public philosophy" (Kirkus, starred review) from one of the world's best-known popular philosophers "Simon Critchley is an international treasure-that rare and real philosopher who embraces Rousseau's 'feeling of existence,' David Bowie's vision of love, and Philip K. Dick's genius with genuine wrestling and a soulful smile!''-Cornel West, Harvard University The moderator of the New York Times' Stone column and the author of numerous books on everything from Greek tragedy to David Bowie, Simon Critchley has been a strong voice in popular philosophy for more than a decade. This volume brings together thirty-five essays, originally published in the Times, on a wide range of topics, from the dimensions of Plato's academy and the mysteries of Eleusis to Philip K. Dick, Mormonism, money, and the joy and pain of Liverpool Football Club fans. In an engaging and jargon-free style, Critchley writes with honesty about the state of world as he offers philosophically informed and insightful considerations of happiness, violence, and faith. Stripped of inaccessible academic armatures, these short pieces bring philosophy out of the ivory tower and demonstrate an exciting new way to think in public.
