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
