Description

Since 2010, The Stone—an enormously popular column in the New York Times—has interpreted and reinterpreted age-old inquiries 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, Modern Ethics in 77 Arguments emancipates ethics from the province of ivory-tower classrooms to become a centrepiece of discussions for years to come.
