THE NEW SCHOOL | http://www.newschool.edu English philosopher Simon Critchley, chair and professor of Philosophy at The New School for Social Research, discusses his 2009 New York Times bestseller, The Book of Dead Philosophers. Starting with Cicero's axiom, To philosophize is to learn how to die, Professor Critchley leads us to his conclusion that to die is to learn how to live. The Daily Telegraph called the book "rigorous, profound, and frequently hilarious and described Critchley as an engaging and deadpan guide to the metaphysical necropolis as well as bracingly serious and properly comic.
