Praise for Simon Critchley's
THE BOOK OFDEAD PHILOSOPHERS
“A provocative and engrossing invitation to think about the human condition and what philosophy can and can't do to illuminate it.”
—Financial Times
“Concise, witty and oddly heartening.”
—New Statesman (A 2008 Book of the Year)
“Full of wonderful absurdities… Extremely enjoyable.”
— The Independent (London)
“Simon Critchley is probably the sharpest and most lucid philosopher writing in English today.”
—Tom McCarthy, author of Remainder
“Ingenious… Packed with great stories.”
— Time Out London
“A tremendous addition to an all too sparse literature… Brilliant, entertaining, informative.”
—New Humanist (UK)
“A fabulous concept… [Critchley writes] with dash, humour and an eye for scandalous detail.”
— The Vancouver Sun
“[Critchley is] among the hippest of (living) British philosophers.”
—The Book Bench, newyorker.com
“Surprisingly good fun… Worthy of the prose writings of Woody Allen… Not the least of the pleasures of this odd book, lighthearted and occasionally facetious as it is, is that in surveying a chronological history of philosophers it provides a sweep through the entire history of philosophy itself.”
— The Irish Times
“Critchley has a lightness of touch, a nimbleness of thought, and a mocking graveyard humour that puts you in mind of Hamlet with a skull.”
— The Independent on Sunday (London)
“The Book of Dead Philosophers is something of a magic trick: on the surface an amusing and bemused series of blackout sketches of philosophers’ often rather humble and/or brutal deaths, it actually is an utterly serious, deeply moving, cant-free attempt to return us to the gorgeousness of material existence, to our creatureliness, to our clownish bodies, to the only immortality available to us (immersion in the moment). I absolutely love this book.”
—David Shields, author of The Thing About Life Is That One Day You'll Be Dead
“[Critchley] brings the deaths of his predecessors to life in 190 or so energetic bursts.”
— The Sunday Herald (UK)
“Critchley gives the nonspecialist, the reader for pleasure, a point of access into complex material.”
— The Sydney Morning Herald (Australia)
“Simon Critchley's book looks death in the face and draws from the encounter the breath of life. No philosopher can pull a more welcome rabbit out of a more forbidding hat and Mr. Critchley does so in a prose style that is as deft as his intelligence.”
—Lewis Lapham, editor of Lapham's Quarterly
