Do you have any reading recommendations for contemporary philosophers?

Question

Brigid · Answer

Mark Fisher: Reading Mark Fisher changed me and led me down new paths in modern thought. Capitalist Realism later led me to Byung-Chul Han, and the concept of hauntology informs so much of how I think about cultural heritage and understanding my relationship to the past and future.

How Proust can Change Your Life: I had an abysmally small awareness of classical philosophers before reading this about s a decade ago and it’s such a wonderful primer it might make you want to dip back into those less-contemporary thinkers.

Anna Tsing! Especially "The Mushroom at the End of the World": Changed the way I thought about wildness, climate change, crisis, and community

Byung-Chul Han: One of my favorite true contemporary thinkers writing on our digital landscape, burnout, and how we views ourselves in today’s capitalist/neoliberal world -  through an eastern and western lens.
