New Philosopher, Issue 45 – Novelty

For curious people interested in the fundamental issues facing humankind. New Philosopher is an independent publication devoted to exploring philosophical ideas from past and present thinkers on ways to live a more fulfilling life. New Philosopher aims to guide readers into living a happier and freer mode of existence.

New Philosopher caters to those who have not studied philosophy, as well as philosophy students and academics. Our aim is to introduce philosophical ideas that challenge contemporary thought and conditioning. Are our thoughts and aspirations truly ours?

We will bring you some of the world’s leading minds on perspectives rarely heard – covering the technological society, consumerism, happiness, the war on your mind, an extraordinary life, and ideas to change your life.

In the issue:

This latest issue explores the psychology and economics of novelty: ‘Are we doomed to be stuck in an eternal return of purchasing objects and novelty-seeking online, searching for new information, new items, new news?’

The magazine also takes a new—if not novel—visual direction with editor Antonia Case assuming the role of art director. The typically slick, flat graphics on the cover now replaced with an illustration by Alvaro Hildago, with some suspiciously AI-looking illustrations inside.
