These are questions that are important and answering them is what animates radical philosophy in providing audacious answers to questions of the moment. This book is radical itself in addressing these issues. * Gary Browning, Professor of Political Thought, Oxford Brookes University, UK * A compelling and authoritative defence of radical philosophising, unveiling the perils of scepticism and tranquil avoidance of fundamental questions of life and death. De Gaynesford elegantly snatches that complacency away, engaging us with the requirement to face head-on our unprecedentedly challenging times: an apt invitation to enter into philosophy for practical reasons by a true radical philosopher. * Amna Whiston, Lecturer in Philosophy, University of Oxford, UK * Taking a handful of influential thinkers and putting them into conversation with one another, De Gaynesford conducts a subtle and insightful analysis of some of the most radical ideas in the history of philosophy. The book is a timely invitation to better understand ourselves and our place in the world. * Sarah Fisher, Postdoctoral Research Fellow, University College London, UK * Does philosophy matter?
