Contemporary Philosophy

Philosophy is about everything and anything from comics to ethics to food. While that definition perhaps leaves quite a bit to be desired (also a valid philosophical field), it also means that it will always exist. Here are some items that cover a variety of topics but have, as a connection, their (relative) newness.

Enjoy.
