It articulates the conflicts and contradictions that we need to address in order to better understand the world we live in. A work honed from a decade's teaching at the New School, where Critchley on Tragedy is one of the most popular courses, Tragedy, the Greeks and Us is a compelling examination of the history of tragedy.

Is the world physical? What if there were a physical universe and no one in it? Can a physical universe be said to exist in the absence of consciousness? Religion and Politics: belief systems. For example, is the Christian doctrine true: "No one comes to the father except through me," or is this a divisive falsehood?
