New Philosopher is renowned for its thoughtful, long-form writing, and we sent issue 12 to Stack subscribers in May 2016.

Dedicated to exploring the theme of education, it approaches the subject from a broad range of perspectives and allows its writers’ ideas to overlap, develop and contradict, resulting in a rich and varied read that manages to be simultaneously timeless and absolutely of its moment.

In this issue:

• Napoleon on the virtues of public education
• Schoolchildren photographed in classrooms around the world
• Will Self on the rush to profit from British universities
• Why we don’t practise what we preach
