Synopsis

From the editors of the widely influential The Stone Reader comes the most thorough and engaging guide to modern ethical thought available.

Since 2010, The Stone the immensely popular, award-winning philosophy column in The New York Times has revived and re-interpreted age-old inquiries to speak to our contemporary condition. Now, doing for modern ethics what The Stone Reader did for modern philosophy, this portable new volume features 77 essays from an online series that has enthralled millions with its lively, accessible examinations of perennial philosophical topics such as consciousness, religious belief and morality. The result is a thought-provoking collection, one that The New York Times editor Peter Catapano and best-selling author and philosopher Simon Critchley use to showcase a fascinating debate that otherwise would have gone unnoticed. From questions of gun control and drone warfare to the morals of vegetarianism, marriage and reproduction, this insightful compendium promises to enliven the world of ethical thought and action in both the classroom and everyday life.
