Philosophy, according to Simon Critchley, emerges not from wonder but from disappointment, particularly in the realms of religion and politics. He explores how religious disillusionment leads to existential questions about life's meaning amidst nihilism, while political discontent confronts the quest for justice in a violent world. Critchley's recent works also venture into innovative writings on diverse subjects, including Shakespeare, David Bowie, suicide, Greek tragedy, and football, showcasing his broad intellectual engagement.
