    In the final years of World War II, the fate of Nazi Germany seemed sealed. By early 1945, the once-feared Reich was in rapid decline. The German military was stretched thin, fighting on multiple fronts, and its once-unstoppable war machine had been crippled by continuous defeats. The Allies from the west and the Soviets from the east were closing in, their forces overwhelming the remnants of the German military. 
      
    In the East, the Red Army’s relentless advance had already pushed the Germans back hundreds of miles from the Soviet Union’s borders. The success of the Soviet offensives, especially following the victory at Stalingrad, left the Nazis reeling. Soviet General Zhukov’s forces had already crossed the Vistula River in Poland and were now bearing down on the Oder River, just a stone’s throw from Berlin. The Red Army’s advance was swift, and Hitler, from his bunker beneath the Reich Chancellery in Berlin, could no longer deny the grim reality that the capital was in imminent danger. 
      
    Despite this, Adolf Hitler refused to surrender or even entertain the thought of defeat. His obsession with holding Berlin—his “fortress”—was absolute. As Soviet forces neared the capital, he remained convinced that a miracle might still turn the tide. To his inner circle, this delusion became apparent. His judgment was clouded, and the once-great military genius was now a desperate and isolated dictator. He ordered that Berlin be fortified, even though it was clear that the city’s defenses were insufficient against the overwhelming Soviet force.

    Across the United States and around the world, there has been an ongoing resurgence in classical education, including among Catholics. The classical model, rooted in the ancient Socratic method, is flourishing, and classical Catholic schools continue to multiply and grow. But classical education also has its detractors. Some parents and teachers worry that it is impractical, outdated, or, worse, judgmental.       In Know Thyself, Andrew Youngblood, an educator with decades of experience in classical learning as both a student and teacher, introduces readers to this exciting education alternative and its intellectual and spiritual benefits. Youngblood defines the essence of classical Catholic education, explores its integrated and narrative approach to learning, and presents its transformative power and beauty.       Through brief vignettes, personal anecdotes from students and teachers, and examples from the classroom, Know Thyself makes a positive case for an education journey that teaches students to see themselves through God’s eyes—and to truly know themselves and who they are called to be.

    Philosopher Kwame Anthony Appiah explores how early social scientists developed our modern understandings of society through their theories of religion The foundations of modern social science were built on the study of religion, the acclaimed thinker Kwame Anthony Appiah argues. Delving into the intellectual currents of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, he investigates how formative thinkers—notably Edward Burnett Tylor, Émile Durkheim, Georg Simmel, and Max Weber—grappled with the concepts of society and religion as interdependent categories. Appiah shows how their efforts to define religion, or evade the task, mark the power and limitations of social thought in ways that persist among theorists today. Religion was not an object of study but a framework through which early social scientists established sociology as a discipline. Appiah also examines recent work in both interpretive sociology and evolutionary and cognitive psychology about the mechanisms through which communities form beliefs and values—while underscoring the enduring significance of these earlier debates for contemporary social thought. Throughout, he intertwines storytelling, historical analysis, and philosophical reflection to show how our ideas about society and culture have been, and continue to be, forged in dialogue with religious questions.
