He seemed marked for a successful and conventional academic career. Then the philosophy of Schopenhauer and the music of Wagner transformed his ambitions. The genius of such thinkers and makers--the kind of genius that had emerged in ancient Greece--this alone was the touchstone for true understanding. But how was education to serve genius, especially in a modern society marked more and more by an unholy alliance between academic specialization, mass-market journalism, and the militarized state? Something more than sturdy scholarship was called for. A new way of teaching and questioning, a new philosophy . . . \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat that new way might be was the question Nietzsche broached in five vivid, popular public lectures in Basel in 1872. \u003ci\u003eAnti-Education\u003c\/i\u003e presents a provocative and timely reckoning with what remains one of the central challenges of the modern world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review of Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590178942\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Friedrich Nietzsche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43040280412341,"sku":"9781590178942","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_6547489b-384c-426a-99d8-76411da3fc76.jpg?v=1689088561","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/anti-education-on-the-future-of-our-educational-institutions-9781590178942","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
