Liberal Arts Books/Academic Articles

Nigel Tubbs, (2014) Philosophy and Modern Liberal Arts Education: Freedom is to Learn, PalgraveMacmillan, ISBN 978-1137358912

‘This book argues for a modern version of liberal arts education, exploring first principles within the divine comedy of educational logic. By reforming the three philosophies of metaphysics, nature and ethics upon which liberal arts education is based, Tubbs offers a profound transatlantic philosophical and educational challenge to the subject.’

Nigel Tubbs, (2017) God, Education and Modern Metaphysics: the logic of ‘know thyself’ (Routledge), ISBN 978-0415746120

‘The Western tradition has long held the view that while it is possible to know that God exists, it nevertheless remains impossible to know what God is. The ineffability of the monotheistic God extends to each of the Abrahamic faiths. In this volume, Tubbs considers Aristotle’s logic of mastery and questions the assumptions upon which God’s ineffability rests.’

Nigel Tubbs, (2022) Socrates on Trial, (Bloomsbury), ISBN 9781350053717

Socrates On Trial tells of Socrates’s return to a modern city that is plagued by prejudice, privilege and populism. On resuming his questioning in the agora he is arrested, interrogated by his prosecutors, questioned by his Judge, and confessed to by his inquisitor. On a Festival Day, he explores a new model for the just city –a city based not on mastery but on learning –before offering a new apology to the court that will, once again, decide his fate.’
