The Art of Living series

Philosophers reflect on aspects of life - with titles covering topics as diverse as Fame, Pets, Clothes and Wellbeing.

Edited by Mark Vernon, the series aims to answer the question 'How should we live?'. My book in this series is entitled Me. Click here for more information.

 

 

High tide in the Thames Estuary - just the place for a walk, well wrapped up,

at this time of year!

And while on the subject of beach walks....

►  Planning your summer holidays yet?

►  Planning what to read on the beach?

 

The Philosopher's Beach Book

Questions to ponder

as you twiddle your toes in the sand!

 

More information about the book and website pages, where you can share

your holiday thoughts, will appear in March.

 

 

I'm just finishing work on new editions of Understand Eastern Philosophy, Understand the Philosophy of Science and Understand the Philosophy of Mind. The first two are scheduled for April publication, the third comes in August.

Although it seems madness to try to cover such huge subjects in only 70,000 words, I'm doing what I can and hope that you will enjoy the result and forgive the brevity.

 

Understand Existentialism has been published by Hodder in their Teach Yourself series.  Co-authored with Nigel Rodgers, it provides an introduction to existentialist philosophy and the impact of Existentialism within the worlds of literature and art. Click here for more information...

 

 

 

Two exciting audio books, are available from Hodders, introduce Philosophy and Ethics 'for the curious'.  Discussions are chaired by Mark Vernon, with three participants joining him for each of them.

For further information, click on one of the titles.

New editions of these previously out-of-print titles are scheduled to appear in 2012. Unfortunately, the old editions can therefore no longer be made available from this site as free pdf files, for contractual reasons. But for those of you who need copies in the next few months, there are plenty of used ones available on Amazon.
