  Starry Field - A Memoir of Lost...

  As a young girl growing up in Houston, Margaret Juhae Lee never heard about her grandfather, Lee Chul Ha. His history was lost in early twentieth-century Korea, and guarded by Margaret's grandmother, who Chul Ha left widowed in 1936 with two young sons. To his surviving family, Lee Chul Ha was a criminal, and his granddaughter was determined to figure out why. 
   
   
   
  Starry Field chronicles Chul Ha's untold story. Combining investigative journalism, oral history, and archival research, Margaret reveals the truth about the grandfather she never knew. What she found is that Lee Chul Ha was not a source of shame; he was a student revolutionary imprisoned in 1929 for protesting the Japanese government's colonization of Korea. He was a hero—and eventually honored as a Patriot of South Korea almost 60 years after his death. It is through the series of three interviews with her grandmother that Margaret finally finds a sense of recognition she's been missing. A story of healing old wounds and the reputation of an extraordinary young man, Starry Field bridges the tales of two women. 
   
   
   
  Starry Field weaves together the stories of Margaret's family against the backdrop of Korea's tumultuous modern history, with a powerful question at its heart. Can we ever separate ourselves from our family's past—and if the answer is yes, should we?

  "Emile, or On Education" is a novel written by Jean-Jacques Rousseau and published in 1762. The book is a treatise on education and focuses on the development of a single individual, Emile, from infancy to adulthood. 
  Rousseau's novel is notable for its emphasis on natural education, or the idea that children should be allowed to learn through their own experiences and interactions with the world around them. The book is divided into five sections, each of which focuses on a different stage of Emile's life and the corresponding education he should receive. 
  In the first section, Rousseau argues that children should be allowed to develop naturally and that their education should be based on their own interests and abilities. He also emphasizes the importance of physical education and the need for children to learn through play. 
  In the second section, Rousseau discusses the importance of developing Emile's sense of morality and character, emphasizing the need for him to learn to be honest, courageous, and independent. 
  The third section focuses on Emile's intellectual education, including the importance of developing his reasoning abilities and critical thinking skills. 
  In the fourth section, Rousseau discusses Emile's social education, including his interactions with other people and the importance of developing his empathy and understanding of others. 
  Finally, in the fifth section, Rousseau discusses the importance of Emile's religious education and the role that religion should play in his life. 
  Overall, "Emile, or On Education" is a significant work in the history of educational philosophy, and it continues to be studied and debated by scholars and educators today.

  Popular Works Volume 2 - The...

  Johann Gottleib Fitche

  Though born to a poor but pious family of ribbon weavers in in Saxony in 1762, Johann Gottlieb’s exceptional intelligence was apparent from an early age. Remarkably, from this humble background, he earned himself a respected place in the pantheon of late 18th and early 19th century German philosophers. That fact that he is placed between Kant and Hegel, yet still retains a significant and individual presence, says much about his work and personality. He became known, especially, for initiating the concept of ‘German idealism’ (linked with Romanticism and the revolutionary politics which emerged after the Enlightenment). In the 20th and 21st century, his importance and contribution to Western philosophy has been increasingly acknowledged.  
   
  There are two substantial lecture series and one essay stemming from his time in Berlin in Popular Works Volume 2: much of Fichte’s important work appeared initially in lectures. 
   
   The Characteristics of the Present Age, (1806) consists of 17 lectures in which Fichte presents his ‘speculative philosophy of history’. The series opens with ‘The Idea of Universal History’ in which he ‘divides earthly life into 5 Principal Epochs.’ Against this overview of history and culture, (including the state, civil and political freedom, science and religion) he develops his thesis with particular reference to his ‘present age’ – the time of Voltaire, Rousseau on the one hand and Lessing, Kant and Goethe on the other.  
   
  In The Way Towards The Blessed Life or The Doctrine Of Religion (1806) (11 lectures) Fichte considers the relationship between established religion and his particular view on ‘transcendental’ philosophy. His opening statement is ‘Life is Love; and hence Life and Blessedness are in themselves one and the same.’  He continues by examine metaphysics, ontology, mysticism, actual and apparent life, Christianity, and his Doctrine of Being.  
   
  The final work in this anthology is Outlines of the Doctrine of Knowledge (1810). It is a concise exposition of Fichte’s Wissenschaftslehre’ but in its strictly scientific form. It had an unusual provenance in that it was printed by Fichte at the conclusion of lectures as a form of a memorandum with 14 short sections. It opens with the question: ‘How this Knowledge can come into being, and what it is in its inward and essential Nature?’
