Mel Thompson

Formerly a teacher and editor, Mel Thompson is a freelance writer, with a particular interest in Philosophy, Religion and Ethics. His introductions to the many aspects of philosophy are popular and accessible, and have been translated into fifteen other languages.

His website (https://essexthinker.com) provides information on all his books, FREE notes for students, examples of his travel photography and much more.

His most recent book 'Home: a philosophy of Personal Space', published in March 2021, asks the most fundamental of all questions: Where do you belong?

Another recent book, 'Through Mud and Barbed Wire', tells the story two religious thinkers (Paul Tillich and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin) who fought on opposite sides in the Great War, and whose experience of the horrors of the battlefields shaped their thinking about God, philosophy and the future of humanity.
