Simple Question

Have there been any worthwhile philosophy books in the near past? (10 year span or so)

Nothing worthwhile in the past 100 years

Tractus was an interesting thought experiment but it led philosophy to a dead end

"Worthwhile"?

Philosophy is a relly specialized discipline nowadays. Science has been, for a while, the main tool we use to 'explain reality' (I'm guessing when you ay worthwhile you're talking about novel expanations about relity itself). Most of the major work in philosophy is done through journal articles rather than books.

Sider's "Writing the Book of the World" might be worthwhile since it argues that the role of metaphysics is to explain reality itself. Four Dimensionalism by Sider is another important work.

If you are interested in a recent trend in analytic metaphysics, look into postmodal theories (essence, ground). I don't think there is a definitive book on this yet though.

Meillassoux's "After Finitude" argues that the laws of nature are contingent. It's implications propose that Kant be reliquinshed as the shared point of departure between continental and analytic philosophy, with Hume being the new shared point of departure. If you find this book interesting then the recent philosophical trend of speculative realism will probably be a trove of worthwhile books.

sorry for all the spelling and grammar errors

yes

pseud

deleuze talked abt the contingency of nature way before after finitude, which is like st augustine tier cuckery compared to his analysis of a roll of the dice, for instance

the alchemist
but it's kind of unusual in that the more background you have the more you get out of it (compared to most real "hilosophy" pbooks

Charles Taylor’s A Secular Age has really rocked the social/political philosophy world, published 2007.

It takes a while for truely novel works of philosophy to attract recognition, at least outside of academia.

Zizek’s Less than Nothing is another maybe important work.

Jane Bennett’s Vibrant Matter is talked about a lot.

Even though they were written in the 70s Kripke’s Reference and Existence was just officially published in 2011.

Yes, The Foundation for Exploration by Sean Goonan. I think he's doing an AMA right now actually if you look in the catalogue his ideas really changed my life and will probably definitely change the world
