In one of the first works of German philosophy published under a woman''s name, Holst presents a manifesto for women''s education that centres on a basic provocation: as far as the mind is concerned, women are equal partakers in the project of Enlightenment and should thus have unfettered access to the sciences in general and to philosophy in particular. Holst''s manifesto resonates with the work of several women writers across Europe, including Olympe de Gouges, Mary Wollstonecraft, and Germaine de Staël. Yet in contrast to the early works of feminism we celebrate today, her book had little success. Its reception confronts us with a darker side of the German Enlightenment that, until recently, has been neglected. Holst sought to unearth the gendered nature of the fundamental concepts of the Enlightenment--including vocation, education, and culture--which enabled men to establish the subordinate status of women by philosophical means. However, her argument was scorned by male reviewers, who denied the very possibility of a woman philosopher.With an introduction by Andrew Cooper, and translations of biographical material and early reviews, this edition provides students and scholars of German philosophy with a timely resource for developing a richer understanding of their field, and general readers with a powerful early feminist text that reveals the opportunities and difficulties facing women philosophers at the turn of the nineteenth century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis excellent translation makes Amalia Holst's important and powerful book available to English-speaking readers for the first time, greatly advancing the recovery of German women philosophers. Andrew Cooper's superb introduction situates Holst in the context of German Enlightenment debates about the purpose of education and the vocation of woman, and carefully compares Holst's position to those of her male and female contemporaries. The book will be invaluable reading for all those seeking to recognise women's contributions to nineteenth-century philosophy. * Alison Stone, Lancaster University *\u003cbr\u003eAndrew Cooper's seamless translation of Amalia Holst's On the Vocation of Woman to Higher Intellectual Education is cause for celebration. In this work, Holst makes crucial contributions to the \"vocation debates\" of the eighteenth century, and offers insightful and penetrating critiques of her male contemporaries, who, in contrast to Holst, repeatedly argued that women were not fit for philosophical education. Her insightful and penetrating critiques reveal the extent to which these apparently enlightened thinkers were not able to fulfill the goals of the Enlightenment. And Holst seeks to do just that. This work is bound to transform the ways we teach and research this crucial moment in the history of philosophy, challenging us not only to expand the philosophical canon but also to rethink trusted philosophical premises and arguments. * Dalia Nassar, University of Sydney *\u003cbr\u003eCould there be a more relevant and much-needed book in eighteenth-century philosophy than Andrew Cooper's translation of Amalia Holst's On the Vocation of Woman to Higher Education (1802)? Holst argues for women's right to education and, in effect, takes to task the aspirations of a whole generation of Enlightenment thinkers. If the right to education is reserved for a segment of the population (male individuals), can we then say that the Enlightenment is committed to the uplift of the human being as such? Cooper's introduction to Holst's work is thorough, clear, and engaging; it provides a superb induction to Holst's important contribution and its relevance today. This text is a \"must\" for anyone interested in the philosophy of education, the critical potential of Enlightenment thought, and the politics of gender in recent history. * Kristin Gjesdal, Temple University *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements Introduction Note on Translation On The Vocation of Woman to Higher Intellectual Education Preface 1: Does Higher Education of the Mind Contradict the Proximate Calling of Woman as Wife, Mother, and Housewife? 2: Woman Considered as Wife 3: The Educated Woman as Mother 4: The Educated Woman as Housewife 5: On the Education of Woman in the Unmarried State Appendix 1: Biographical References Appendix 2: Reviews of Holst's Work Bibliography","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48732593815895,"sku":"9780192845948","price":57.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780192845948.jpg?v=1719997572"},{"product_id":"the-first-black-archaeologist-9780197578995","title":"The First Black Archaeologist","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the very first book-length biography of John Wesley Gilbert, a man famous as \"the first black archaeologist.\" The book uses previously unstudied sources to reveal the triumphs and challenges of an overlooked pioneer in American archaeology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLee (history, Univ. of California, Santa Barbara) has written a comprehensive, impeccably researched biography of John Wesley Gilbert, the first Black American archaeologist.

The result is an informative addition to the history of Black education in America * Publishers Weekly *\u003cbr\u003eThe First Black Archaeologist is a riveting narrative, weaving threads of post-Reconstruction racism, conflicts, and religious commitment into a revealing tapestry of personal success and interracial cooperation. * Bishop Othal Hawthorne Lakey, Retired, Christian Methodist Episcopal Church *\u003cbr\u003eIn the 1885 inaugural issue of The American Journal of Archaeology, John Izard Middleton was hailed by Charles Eliot Norton as 'the first American classical archaeologist.' Now thanks to John W. I. Lee's deeply researched and beautifully written biography, we can learn about the first African American to work in the same field and publish in the same journal. This was John Wesley Gilbert whose life is an index to his era. * Michele Valerie Ronnick, Wayne State University *\u003cbr\u003eA revelatory read. John Lee's well-written, meticulously researched biography of the largely forgotten Black archaeologist, John Wesley Gilbert, shows that Gilbert, usually known for his trip as a missionary to the Congo under Belgian rule, was one of the most important figures of Greek archaeology in early-twentieth-century America. Lee shows us a more nuanced, transgressive Gilbert, whose mastery of the Greek language, archaeology, and classical education made him an American anomaly. Lee's biography excels most in its almost daily tracking of this fascinating New Negro, as he trips through Greece, the Congo, and the minefields of Jim Crow higher education in America. In the process, Lee creates a template for studying Black scholars in terms of the disciplines they mastered, not simply the disciplines that have come to dominate Black Studies. * Jeffrey C. Stewart, author of the Pulitzer Prize- and National Book Award-winning biography The New Negro: The Life of Alain Locke *\u003cbr\u003eLee masterfully reconnects Gilbert with his era…and cohesively argues for 'the centrality of both Classics and Christianity in the black intellectual tradition'...

In this second edition of his Very Short Introduction, Gary Thomas explores how and why education has evolved as it has, examining the ways in which it has responded over the centuries to various influences in politics, philosophy, and the social sciences. Focussing on education today, he considers especially the controversies over progressive versus formal teaching, and also examines education worldwide, assessing the accelerating trend on both sides of the Atlantic of the move to charter, academy, and ''free'' schools.The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically accelerated moves to online learning in schools and universities, and in this new edition Thomas looks again at curriculums and what shape they should take in a rapidly changing world. He asks why action on race, gender and social inequality has borne so little fruit thus far, questioning the oft-made claim of education to be a force for social mobility, and offering an analysis on how education may develop over the coming century.\u003cb\u003eVery Short Introductions\u003cb\u003e: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring \u003c\/b\u003eABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.

This second edition incorporates the results and practical experience of introducing and managing that reform. The book's message has resonated with readers around the world: given the right kind of guidance and support, our institutions of education are perfectly capable of instigating the kinds of radical changes they need to make in order to prepare our young people for an uncertain future. The authors can say this with some confidence because the insights, tools, suggestions and recommendations in the pages of Transformative Innovation in Education are rooted firmly in practical experience. In partnership with the Scottish inspectorate of schools, IFF worked with a wide variety of educationalists, practitioners, policy makers and others to explore how transformational change might be achieved. As a result, IFF developed significant new resources to support transformative innovation in a highly decentralised, bottom-up, system-wide approach. Powerful frameworks for moving from insight to action developed by Jim Ewing are described in a substantial new addition to the original text on 'practical approaches to transformation'. The permissive policy framework set in Scotland by Curriculum for Excellence, which invites transformational change in the education system, has now attracted positive attention in different parts of the world - particularly the US, Asia and Australia. The 'three horizons' framework on which the book and the reform programme is based allows everyone free rein to share their concerns about the present system, to admit deeper aspirations that might be frustrated or under-realised today, and to design a 'second horizon' transition strategy to shift the system in that direction. This is not 'blue skies visioning' but hard-headed engagement with often uncomfortable facts about changes in the real world. But it also allows space for inspiration.  For some readers, the question may remain: How can government and other agencies best support a permissive programme of radical innovation in education? How can schools themselves take the lead? This book explains how. It tells a story in six sections:  a widespread international story of disappointment in educational reform  the three horizons framework for thinking about longer-term transformational change  the limitations of international models of 'standards-based reform'  developing a transformative framework in Scotland  an outline of the tools and processes that are shifting the Scottish system into the future  recommendations for a policy framework to encourage transformative innovation in education: 'making shift happen'.","brand":"Triarchy Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48742529663319,"sku":"9781909470101","price":13.94,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781909470101.jpg?v=1720061776"},{"product_id":"coolfore-west-farney-and-the-national-school-system-1826-1968-9781916742529","title":"Coolfore, west Farney and the National School","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Wordwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48742841057623,"sku":"9781916742529","price":17.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781916742529.jpg?v=1720063028"},{"product_id":"the-apapa-six-west-africa-from-a-60s-perspective-9781982283155","title":"The Apapa Six: West Africa from a 60S Perspective","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Balboa Press UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48742983893335,"sku":"9781982283155","price":20.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781982283155.jpg?v=1720063614"},{"product_id":"a-brief-history-of-schooling-in-the-united-states-from-pre-colonial-times-to-the-present-9783030243968","title":"A Brief History of Schooling in the United","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book presents a sweeping overview of the historical and philosophical foundations of schooling in the United States.

Their experiences were vastly different, yet they all had in common that they were separated from their families and childhood friends for a period of time in order to sleep, eat, learn and move within the limited spatial sites of the boarding school. This book frames these ‘boarding schools’ as a global and transcultural phenomenon that is part of larger political and social developments of European imperialism, the Cold War, and independence movements. Drawing together case studies from colonial South Africa, colonial India, Dutch Indonesia, early twentieth-century Nigeria, Fascist Spain, Ghana, Nazi Germany, nineteenth-century Ireland, North America and the Soviet Union, this edited collection examines the ways in which boarding schools extracted pupils from their original social background in order to train, mold and shape them so that they could fit into the perceived position in broader society. The book makes the broader argument that framing boarding schools as a global phenomenon is imperative for a deepened understanding of the global and transnational networks that linked people as well as ideas and practices of education and childhood in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This volume … shows how the schools fit themselves into communities and the role they assumed in promoting European-centered education.

[Kirby’s] case studies are highly revealing…[A] fascinating book. -- Steven Mintz * Inside Higher Ed *\u003cbr\u003eRather than offering an overview of the university landscape, Kirby adopts the case-based approach employed in the curricula of the Harvard Business School. He traces the history of eight institutions whose trajectories he views as exemplary…There are advantages to Kirby’s case study approach. Tracing the history of an individual institution offers the reader a vivid sense of the interplay of historical contingency, policy mandates, and individual actors. -- Robert Frodeman * Issues in Science and Technology *\u003cbr\u003eA masterful account of higher education in Germany, the United States, and China. -- Lee Trapanier * University Bookman *\u003cbr\u003eKirby weaves together traditional historical analysis with personal narratives and experiences with German, American, and Chinese higher education systems…Offers a genuine insider’s glimpse into the inner workings of these universities. -- Ryan M. Allen * Hansa Review of Books *\u003cbr\u003eWilliam Kirby’s new book is unique. I know of nothing else on higher education that resembles it in breadth, scope, and sheer comparative information and analysis. He has plotted the rise and evolution of the modern university in three major societies—Germany, the United States, and China—in a way that illuminates the strengths and weaknesses of each model. Anyone interested in the nature of universities during the past two centuries will want to read this volume. -- Neil L. Rudenstine, President Emeritus, Harvard University\u003cbr\u003eKirby is in a unique position to tell this story, since nobody else can equal his extensive knowledge of the subject. His insights take us behind the scenes and beyond the university rankings. Fascinating and compelling. -- Yingyi Qian, Professor and Dean Emeritus, Tsinghua University\u003cbr\u003eThis superb and compelling book is both a vast scholarly achievement and an essential guide to the future of universities under conditions of increasing global competitiveness. It places contemporary trends in their historical context and draws on Kirby’s unique personal experiences of engagement with some leading universities in three countries. It is essential reading for everyone interested in the future of higher education and research as a global phenomenon. -- Sir Malcolm Grant, Chancellor, University of York\u003cbr\u003eThis timely and important book by one of the world’s leading historians on global higher education makes the compelling case that the center of innovation and creativity is and always has been moving within the highly competitive global landscape of universities. Kirby cogently argues that in recent decades we witness a shift of the dynamics to China. Government backing and incentives have greatly enhanced China’s innovation potential in higher education. The growing success of Chinese universities discredits the idea that only the West is amenable to innovation. A must-read! -- Klaus Mühlhahn, President, Zeppelin University\u003cbr\u003eThis book takes off from the simple if little explored idea that no country has emerged as a great power without also developing great universities. But what feature of universities have allowed them to play this role, and how might the answer change over space and time? To answer this question, Kirby sets off on a comparative history of emerging models of higher education ranging from Germany in the early nineteenth century through twentieth-century United States to the China of this very day. With his extraordinary breadth of curiosity and equal ease in the histories and cultures of these countries, only Bill Kirby could have written this book. It is must-reading for everyone who cares about universities, a thought-provoking lesson in the strange mix of durability and vulnerability that defines this key modern institution. -- Richard Brodhead, President Emeritus, Duke University\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEmpires of Ideas\u003c\/i\u003e offers deep insights on the practical achievement of institutional excellence, as well as the relationship between power and learning. The book raises profound questions about the outlook for America’s public universities as state governments continue to cut educational budgets, and the country’s ability to compete globally with other institutions in Europe and China. This learned work is a tour de force in the art of academic governance. -- Wen-hsin Yeh, University of California, Berkeley\u003cbr\u003eA lively and insightful analysis of modern research universities in three key countries. Kirby is the perfect author—he brings personal experience of each country, academic expertise, and an analytic framework. \u003ci\u003eEmpires of Ideas\u003c\/i\u003e provides an unparalleled perspective on the origins and contemporary challenges of research universities. -- Philip G.

It includes the work of renowned theorists, researchers, and authors and highlights the epistemological orientations of pedagogy and pedagogical trends over time, demonstrating the breadth and depth of education that certainly cannot be a mere set of techniques. The approach of the terms \"upbringing\", \"education\" and \"pedagogy\" is at the heart of this book\/guide for every spiritual man. The purpose of this work is the dissemination of pedagogical values and concerns that, as evidenced by the approach of great pedagogues, do not substantially differ from one country to another. This indeed is the hallmark of classic works, particularly works related to the humanitarian values. In difficult times, we must all turn to defend values  human values  which should permeate education. Modern society presents obvious signs of crisis in the global context, and this is why modern humanity has ceased to be a purpose. This work is faced with constant challenges in the education sector and raises the concern about the progress of education and its future. It is a necessity and a masterpiece that can be shared with various audiences, directly or indirectly related to the theory and practice of pedagogy.

In the 19th century Robert Owen's school in New Lanark for his factory employees took the children for a daily walk through the forest; there were no rewards or punishments, just the satisfaction of learning.

Beginning as an ‘outpost of Empire’ at a time when that empire was locally destitute and internationally disintegrating, it prepared the sons of the landed classes for the ‘great public schools’. Weaving its way around the Headfort family and its successors as landlord, the School has traced a rapidly evolving educational ethos. It has managed to protect its individuality and excellence, whilst staunchly refusing to adopt any of the more illogical conclusions of a changing society. Your Children are not your Children is more than a book about a school. It treats such universal issues as co-education, competition, bad language, bullying and homesickness. It reveals the development of Headfort through portraits of the colourful characters on its staff, anecdotes of pupils from every era and accounts of their lurid pranks. The story is augmented by extracts from the ‘Headmaster’s Newsletter’, revealing his thinking about children and education at different stages of his 24-year headmastership, and his startling hatred of political correctness. Told in the inimitable style of Lingard Goulding, whose voice sums up so well the School he served, this book is an engaging account of a living community.","brand":"The Lilliput Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888041537879,"sku":"9781843513216","price":27.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781843513216.jpg?v=1722547462"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/collections\/history-of-education.oembed?page=59","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
