Description - Alexandria And Her Schools; Four Lectures Delivered At The Philosophical Institution, Edinburgh by Charles Kingsley
A bold invitation to the mind and the heart: a set of public lectures that spark curiosity and sustain wonder about how we know what we know. Alexandria And Her Schools gathers Charles Kingsley's thoughtful, accessible insights into the sources of learning and the dialogue between science and religion. The form is a refined lecture series-clear, humane, and overflowing with the energy of a Victorian era Edinburgh that valued education and libraries as public goods. Read as a complete lectures collection, these essays offer both a lucid map of philosophical discourse and practical reflections on how knowledge travels from ancient libraries to modern classrooms, and how policy shapes the shelves we fill with ideas. This edition honours the historical significance of Kingsley's work while restoring it for today's readers. It speaks to academic readership and general reader interest alike, offering education policy insights that still resonate. For collectors and casual readers alike, it stands as more than a reprint-a cultural treasure that bridges past and present, a preserved voice of scholarly passion that invites new conversation. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this volume is a tangible link to a formative era of thought. It is a thoughtfully curated addition to any library, a reminder that great lectures can endure as a source of inspiration, debate, and wonder.
