I'm in no position to justifiably make this assertation, but I'm going to do it anyway: the *vast* majority of modern philosophy is worthless. **Fully** aware of the irony in my statement, I argue we have made very little progress since the Greeks. But some things stand out. So follows, in no particular order, a very short (living) list of things I have found worthy of my time.
- Jean-Dominique Bauby, "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly"
- Thomas Young, "Overconsumption and procreation: are they morally equivalent?."
Your mileage may, decidedly, vary.
