The Canadian psychology professor Jordan Peterson burst into public awareness when he opposed the compulsory use of newfangled gender-pronouns. He has since published two best-selling books, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos (2018) and Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life (2021), and has become the leading public intellectual on social media.Although Peterson has an almost cult-like following, and arouses strong passions, both for and against, there has been very little focused, objective criticism of his provocative views on a wide variety of topics: the role of religion, the alleged need for more value and meaning in the modern world, the way young people should conduct their lives, the history of Marxism and postmodernism, male-female relations; the interpretation of Bible stories, the inevitability of hierarchy and inequality, and the application of Jungian archetypes.Jordan Peterson: Critical Responses brings together new and searching criticisms of various specific aspects of Peterson’s ideas. Though on balance decidedly critical, the authors represent a range of different backgrounds and philosophical assumptions, and the criticisms are fair and temperate, eschewing the personal attacks which have marred many of the pronouncements of Peterson’s opponents.

Sam Harris, a previously unknown neuroscientist, single-handedly generated the New Atheism with his best-selling book The End of Faith, which quickly became a huge best-seller following its release in 2004.Harris went on to write several more best-sellers on a range of topics and has become one of the world’s most followed podcasters. He is well-known for his controversial positions in many areas, including the unique danger of Islam, the advocacy of atheist spirituality through meditation, the beneficial use of psychedelics, denial of the existence of free will, his belief that science can tell us what’s right and wrong, and his extreme alarmism with regard to the future of artificial intelligence. Sam Harris: Critical Responses is a collection of essays criticizing different aspects of Harris’s thinking from a range of diverse perspectives—left and right, Christian and atheist, philosophical, psychological, and political. These twenty serious criticisms of Sam Harris, written by experts from diverse political and ideological backgrounds, are often severe while maintaining an approach that is reasonable and respectful. As one noted author commented on Sandra Woien’s previous collection, Jordan Peterson: Critical Responses, “Both fans and foes will appreciate this volume.”Forward by Stephen R. C. Hicks. Stephen R.C. Hicks is a professor of Philosophy at Rockford University. He is the author of Explaining Postmodernism (2004) and Nietzsche and the Nazis (2010).

As well as explaining the origins of Buddhism, Stoicism, and psychotherapy, Way Beyond Happiness gives us contrasting perspectives, from a diverse team of writers, on some of the controversial issues that arise. ● Can therapy or religion overcome the “meaning crisis” of modern life? ● Would a perfectly wise person be immune to grief? ● What’s the downside of optimism about future outcomes? ● Do Stoicism or Buddhism encourage a cold, unfeeling absence of emotion? ● Are psychedelic drugs effective aids to spiritual awareness? ● What are the vital disagreements between Buddhism and Stoicism? In an age of furious digital agitation, vacuous hype, and angry controversies over rapidly changing ideological quarrels, two ancient philosophies of calm, reason, self-control, and moderation have each made spectacular comebacks. Buddhism and Stoicism are everywhere in popular discussions of success and peace of mind, from sports to business, from workplace conflicts to relationship counseling—in bestselling books, viral podcasts, and booming wellness retreats. Even more remarkable, the dominant fashion in psychotherapy, the cognitive-behavioral approach which has replaced discredited Freudian-style psychoanalysis, was created by pioneers like Albert Ellis and Aaron Beck, who from the get-go drew upon both Stoic and Buddhist sources.At the same time, there’s now an enormous surge within academic philosophy, to rediscover philosophy’s traditional function as a Guide to Life, rather than a mere fascination with intellectual puzzles, and here again, the most important sources lie in Buddhism and Stoicism.
