- More about Questioning: a New History of Western Philosophy
Gideon Baker's genealogy of Western philosophy explores the ancient in the modern and raises questions about the negativity of questioning and its relationship to nihilistic despair. He challenges the centrality of questioning to the true life and asks why it should be seen as such.

Gideon Baker presents a captivating genealogy of Western philosophy as a narrative of inquiry. He traces the ancient roots of questioning through Socrates to contemporary thinkers like Judith Butler, raising thought-provoking questions such as whether questioning is uniquely defining of the human experience and whether the negativity of questioning leads to nihilistic despair. Baker challenges the very foundations of Western philosophy, questioning why questioning should be considered essential to a fulfilling life. This inquiry echoes the initial skepticism of Socrates, who questioned the value of an unexamined life at the beginning of Western philosophy. However, Baker highlights the unsettling and peculiar history of questioning in Western philosophy, which affects us all.
