These rich, epigrammatic essays cover the waterfront of contemporary life, culture, and the self, flashing with insight and making us think in ways that bring home how little we ordinarily do so. By turns inducing perplexity and strengthening conviction, they aim not to tear us down but to build us up. De Silva admirably models the wakeful, agile intelligence we need if we are to make it through the dark alleys of the future morally intact and sound of mind and body. Jacob Howland, author of Glaucon's Fate: History, Myth, and Character in Plato's Republic A sexy philosopher's almanac, a comet tail of ideas and personal truths, Points of Attack is that rare tonic that will dazzle you with its intellectual spectrum, and all the attention it pays to our burning world. Siddharth Dhanvant Shanghvi, author of Loss
