Truth and Education
This book brings a distinctive perspective to bear on current debates over the fate and future of truth, in a post-truth era. Peter Roberts reflects on the long history of philosophical work on the meaning of truth, going back at least as far as Socrates in the West and Confucius in the East to come a better understanding about the educational significance of truth. The book is informed by the work of a number of thinkers seldom considered in the educational literature including Diogenes, Unamuno and Beauvoir and it engages with others who have received more attention including Kierkegaard and Weil, in new ways. Collectively, these figures provide, through their words and their actions, a deep well of possibilities for contemplating the importance of truth in education. They help us to see that even if we attempt to flee from truth or to diminish its role in our lives, it will find its way to us, in one form or another. In a 'post-truth' world, truth continues to make its presence felt, often in unexpected ways, even as we attempt to ignore it, push back against it, or feign indifference to it. Truth is complex and contested, but it still matters, as much as ever, and is worthy of ongoing educational commitment.

The Psychology of Tragic Drama
First published in 1975, The Psychology of Tragic Drama offers an interpretation of some of the themes of both ancient and modern tragic drama through an investigation of the plays in the light of psychoanalytical ideas. In his introduction, the author explains and defends the application of psychoanalytical insights to the study of literature. Then in the first part of the book, he proceeds to an exploration of some primitive and infantile situations expressed in Euripides' Bacchae and in a group of modern dramas by Strindberg, Pinter, Ionesco and Weiss. In the second part he turns to the drama of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides, tracing the psychological history of Orestes and Electra from their Greek originals to their later re-creations in more modern settings, in the plays of O'Neill, Eliot and Sartre, and comparing the treatment of themes and motifs which also reappear in Macbeth and Hedda Gabler. In conclusion, Patrick Roberts discusses the loss and gain involved in the diffused awareness among modern dramatists of psychoanalytical ideas and influence; indeed, the book as a whole stands as a confirmation and expansion of Freud's comment 'that poets and philosophers before me discovered the unconscious'. As such, it will appeal not only to all students of serious drama but to all those interested in the two disciplines of literature and psychoanalysis.

The Edges of Education
In education, as in other areas of human endeavour, we often strive for what is easiest, least troubling and most certain. We want clear, definitive answers to our questions. Ambiguity and complexity may be viewed as impediments to our progress as learners, and doubt will sometimes be portrayed as a sign of weakness. This book pushes back against these tendencies. Informed by the work of Giacomo Leopardi, Arthur Schopenhauer, Simone Weil, Maxine Greene, Miguel de Unamuno, and Simone de Beauvoir, it explores some of the uncomfortable, unsettling, less frequently visited 'edges' of education. These conceptual and lived spaces often blur the boundaries between the possible and the impossible, setting limits while also opening up unexpected opportunities for teaching and learning. They are there for us all to experience, if only we can open our eyes to see them and muster the courage to investigate them.
