Philosophy Now
by Rick Lewis & Editorial Team
A magazine of ideas. Philosophy Now delivers regular briefings for its community, featuring interviews with prominent thinkers, book reviews, and a lighthearted approach to deep questions.
About Philosophy Now
Philosophy Now is the 'Village Square' of the intellectual world. Its briefings are famous for their 'Playful Depth'—they are one of the few places where you might find a serious ethical analysis of 'Star Wars' alongside a deep-dive into Schopenhauer. It's unique for its 'Accessibility for Beginners'; they have a 30-year track record of introducing people to philosophy without scaring them away with dense terminology. It is an essential read for anyone who wants to keep up with what modern philosophers are talking about in a format that feels like a conversation rather than a lecture.
