"The main thing to remember when you are studying philosophy is that it is not a spectator sport."
Nigel Warburton is a British philosopher and writer who champions making philosophy accessible and relevant to everyday life. He co-hosts the hit podcast Philosophy Bites (47M+ downloads) and argues that philosophy belongs in public debate, not just the classroom.
A prolific author and columnist, he writes regularly for The New European, Aeon, and The Guardian, and is known for clear, engaging introductions to big ideas—especially in his bestselling book Philosophy: The Basics. He is also senior editor at Aeon.co and philosophy editor at Five Books.
“One of the most-read popular philosophers of our time.”— Julian Baggini
