Bald: 35 Philosophical Short Cuts
เจเจธ เจ-เจเจฟเจคเจพเจฌ เจฌเจพเจฐเฉ
The moderator of the New York Timesโ 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 thirtyโ โfive essays, originally published in the Times, on a wide range of topics, from the dimensions of Platoโs 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 jargonโ โfree 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.
