A collection that explores the fundamental nature of philosophical inquiry, tracing how we define the boundaries of thought, language, and the self. By bridging Analytic, Continental, and Global traditions, these texts examine philosophy not merely as an academic discipline, but as a "conceptual infrastructure" for ethical living and a transformative way of life. From the linguistic therapy of the 20th century to ancient practices of spiritual exercise and multicultural manifestos, this list offers a comprehensive framework for understanding how we construct meaning and reconcile our personal experience with the scientific and cultural images of the world.

A selection that explores the foundational and contemporary intersections of human existence and technical intervention. From ancient warnings regarding the externalisation of memory to modern critiques of surveillance capitalism and biotechnological ethics, these texts examine how tools shape our cognition, social structures, and moral landscapes.

A reading list tracing the path from established Critical Pedagogy to the emerging Post-Critical movement. Post-critical thought offers a subtle pivot, moving away from constant "debunking" toward a "pedagogical love" for the world. Together, these works challenge the "learnification" of schooling, arguing instead for education as a space of intellectual emancipation, ethical flourishing, and a radical defense of the school as a public good.

I get asked, very often, how to get started with philosophy. If you’re not taking a specific class or course, or learning from a teacher, it can be hard to know how to go about putting everything in a meaningful order or finding texts and resources that will work well as an entry point. There are probably as many ways to go about philosophy as there are people giving it a go, but I’ve put together an introductory list for someone looking to learn more about philosophy on their own time.

Notebooks have been a huge part of my personal and working life for as long as I can remember. Almost everything I do, whether it’s writing, designing, planning, or thinking, begins on paper in some way or another. I find the immediacy and freedom of pencil and paper to be something that’s completely intertwined with the way that I think and see things.
