A provocative and timely exploration into tragedy from the curator of The New York Times philosophy column
Simon Critchley is the author of The Book of Dead Philosophers, Continental Philosophy - A Very Short Introduction and What We Think About When We Think About Football, among other titles. He is Hans Jonas Professor of Philosophy at the New School in New York, and series moderator of 'The Stone', the New York Times philosophy column.
Engaging and thought-provoking without too much abstraction and
with just enough detail to add flavour ... It has something of the
chatty vigour of a successful seminar discussion ... infectiously
enthusiastic ... . There is something genuinely invigorating about
Critchley's eager open-mindedness, his willingness to step back
from modernity to the ancient world and from philosophy to
literature
