Synopsis "Modern Ethics in 77 Arguments: A Stone Reader "

Since 2010, The Stone-- an enormously popular column in the New York Times-- has interpreted and reinterpreted age-old inquires that speak to our contemporary condition. Having done for modern ethics what The Stone Reader did for modern philosophy, this portable volume features an assortment of essays culled from the archives of an online Times series that has attracted millions of readers through accessible examinations of longstanding topics like consciousness, religious belief, and morality. Presenting the most thorough and accessible guide to modern ethical thought available, New York Times editor Peter Catapano and best-selling philosopher Simon Critchley curate a fascinating culture of debate and deliberation that would have otherwise gone undiscovered. From questions of gun control and drone warfare to the morals of vegetarianism and marriage, this book emancipates ethics from the province of ivory-tower classrooms to become a centerpiece of discussions for years to come.

Simon Critchley (Herfordshire, Reino Unido, 1960) es filósofo y desde 2004 imparte clases en la New School for Social Research de Nueva York. En 2021 la Academic Influence le nombró uno de los veinticinco filósofos contemporáneos más influyentes por su trayectoria ecléctica, a lo largo de la cual se ha dedicado a la filosofía continental, la teoría política y el estudio de figuras como David Bowie. Entre sus más de veinte obras publicadas destacan los ensayos El libro de los filósofos muertos (Taurus, 2008), Apuntes sobre el suicidio –editado en castellano por Alpha Decay en 2016 y recuperado en 2022–, En qué pensamos cuando pensamos en fútbol (Sexto Piso, 2018), La tragedia, los griegos y nosotros (Turner, 2020) y la novela El teatro de la memoria (Alpha Decay, 2016).
