I
loved this month's delivery! It was a magazine called New Philosopher, which is released quarterly with each issue focused on
a different topic. This issue is about education, but previous issues
have included health, travel, technology, fame and work to name just
a few. There's no overarching thesis to an issue – just different
writers exploring the topic, interspersed with quotes and excerpts
from the works of famous philosophers and theorists.
If
I had to make a complaint it would be that the writing is fairly
shallow; two or three pages just don't provide enough space to really
dig deeply into a topic. I don't really think that's the aim of New
Philosopher though. It feels more like it's offering food for
thought, not making any pronouncements on its subjects. Overall it
was such a fun, accessible read and it left me wanting more!
Would I buy it again? Yes!
