You seem to have skipped 2023 and 2022 (and I do declare an interest in the former)
But 2024 is a very good year for philosophy comparatively speaking. I am a long-time admirer of Adrian Moore’s work; Joseph Chan’s Confucian Perfectionism effectively founded a field that is flourishing; Lea Ypi, apart from her academic work, has made memoir a medium of philosophical reflection that engages public audiences; and Chalmers and O’Brien are very high class acts.
Apologies for forgetting Appiah, one of the great philosophical communicators of our time.
