About The Big Questions

Three philosophy books a day — classical texts and contemporary essays — with author, year, rating and a link to Goodreads.

The Big Questions recommends philosophy: the works everyone means to read, the contemporary essays worth the time, and the overlooked books that repay it.

The name is the discipline's job description. What is a good life, what can be known, what do we owe each other — the questions that do not resolve, and are not meant to.

We write for the curious as much as for the trained, and we say plainly when a book is hard going. Every pick links to Goodreads. Independent publisher, not affiliated with Goodreads or any publishing house.
