  On the Future of Our Educational...

  Friedrich Nietzsche

  In 1869, at the age of twenty-five, the precociously brilliant Friedrich Nietzsche was appointed to a professorship of classical philology at the University of Basel. He seemed marked for a successful and conventional academic career. Then the philosophy of Schopenhauer and the music of Wagner transformed his sense of purpose. The genius of such thinkers and makers—like the genius of the ancient Greeks—was the only touchstone for true understanding. How then was education to answer to such genius? Something more than sturdy scholarship was called for. A new way of teaching and questioning, a new philosophy...What that new way might be was the question Nietzsche broached in five vivid, popular public lectures in Basel in 1872. Composed in emulation (and to some degree as a satire) of a Platonic dialogue, Anti-Education presents a provocative and timely reckoning with what remains one of the great problems of modern societies.

  Philosophy is the study of problems concerning matters as fundamental as existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. Pythagoras (c. 570–495 BC) is said to have coined the term. Philosophical methods were applied through questioning, critical discussion, rational arguments, and systematic presentations on questions like "Is it possible to know anything and to prove it?" Major areas in academic philosophy include metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, aesthetics, political philosophy, logic, philosophy of science, and the history of Western philosophy.

  Uncertain Climes - Debating...

  Uncertain Climes looks to the late nineteenth century to reveal how climate anxiety was a crucial element in the emergence of American modernity. 
   
  Even people who still refuse to accept the reality of human-induced climate change would have to agree that the topic has become inescapable in the United States in recent decades. But as Joseph Giacomelli shows in Uncertain Climes, this is actually nothing new: as far back as Gilded Age America, climate uncertainty has infused major debates on economic growth and national development. 
    
  In this ambitious examination of late-nineteenth-century understandings of climate, Giacomelli draws on the work of scientists, foresters, surveyors, and settlers to demonstrate how central the subject was to the emergence of American modernity. Amid constant concerns about volatile weather patterns and the use of natural resources, nineteenth-century Americans developed a multilayered discourse on climate and what it might mean for the nation’s future. Although climate science was still in its nascent stages during the Gilded Age, fears and hopes about climate change animated the overarching political struggles of the time, including expansion into the American West. Giacomelli makes clear that uncertainty was the common theme linking concerns about human-induced climate change with cultural worries about the sustainability of capitalist expansionism in an era remarkably similar to the United States’ unsettled present.

  Paris, often known as the "City of Light," is renowned for its iconic landmarks, romantic ambiance, and vibrant culture. Yet, beneath its grand boulevards and charming streets, lies an entirely different world—an underground labyrinth that has shaped the city in ways few know or understand. From ancient Roman origins to the modern-day metro system, Paris’s subterranean spaces are a testament to the ingenuity, mystery, and resilience of the city. 
  The underground world of Paris is not merely a collection of tunnels and chambers; it is a complex network that has served multiple purposes throughout the ages. Some of these spaces were created for practical reasons—such as the quarries that provided building materials for the city's growing skyline—while others evolved into places of mystique and darkness, such as the famous Catacombs, now home to the remains of millions. What began as a means of resource extraction gradually became a vault of history, culture, and secrets. 
  This book delves into the hidden depths beneath Paris’s streets, exploring the lesser-known aspects of the city's subterranean heritage. It examines the origins of these tunnels, from the Romans who first began to carve through the limestone to the workers who later expanded them into extensive catacombs. It also explores the multifaceted role these spaces have played throughout history: as a refuge during times of war, as a setting for revolutionary movements, and as a sanctuary for those who choose to live outside the city's mainstream society.
