This book is a reflection upon the anarchist turn. It takes three newish anarchists and interprets their work following the method of exegesis. Two questions guide the work. What can the anarchist turn tell us about revolution and nonviolence and what can it tell us about contemporary religion? The protagonists are David Graeber, Timothy Morton and Simon Critchley. This book is of interest to anarchists, activists, and philosophers. Indeed anyone doing and interested in interdisciplinary approaches to important cultural questions and the building of nonviolent cultures should find at least parts of this book interesting.

<p><i>How should I live my life? What values shall I live by? What sort of person should I be? What shall I aim for?</i><br/><br/>In this summation of a lifetime thinking and writing about these great questions, A. C. Grayling explores with clarity and depth the ideas that each of us must use in answering it for ourselves.<br/><br/>Drawing on the lives, experiences and works of a fantastically eclectic range of thinkers - taking in not only philosophers such as Confucius, Seneca and Nietzsche, but also authors from Shakespeare to Ursula LeGuin, and modern thinkers such as Martha Nussbaum and Simon May - <i>Philosophy and Life</i> brings together wisdom from across eras and continents in a tour de force on the philosophy of how to live your life.</p>

<p><b>'A</b><b>n incredible book, the best work of criticism I have read in a very long time</b><b>' NICK HORNBY</b><br/><br/><b>'An exhilarating, shape-shifting exploration of the perilous boundaries between art and life' JENNY OFFILL</b><br/><br/><b>A passionate, provocative and blisteringly smart interrogation of how we experience art in the age of #MeToo, and whether we can separate an artist's work from their biography.</b><br/><br/><i>What do we do with the art of monstrous men? </i>Can we love the work of Roman Polanski and Michael Jackson, Hemingway and Picasso? <i>Should</i> we love it? Does genius deserve special dispensation? Is history an excuse? What makes women artists monstrous? And what should we do with beauty, and with our unruly feelings about it?<br/><br/>Claire Dederer explores these questions and our relationships with the artists whose behaviour disrupts our ability to apprehend the work on its own terms. She interrogates her own responses and her own behaviour, and she pushes the fan, and the reader, to do the same. Morally wise, deeply considered and sharply written, <i>Monsters </i>gets to the heart of one of our most pressing conversations.<br/><br/><b>'A blisteringly erudite and entertaining read... It's a book that deserves to be widely read and will provoke many conversations.' NATHAN FILER</b></p>
