Maxwell... makes a powerful case for a revolution in philosophy - something for which he has been calling for 30 years - but, despite having already published seven books on the theme, his voice, sadly, has gone unheeded. -- Geoff Ward the-newshub.com Global Philosophy by Nicholas Maxwell is a timely and important book... a passionate, authentic, and morally committed call for moving from philosophical discourse to social and political engagement. -- Nimrod Aloni Educational Theory Could a more likely explanation for the relative neglect of Maxwell's work be due to the institutional inertia and entrenched (disciplinary) conservatism of the academic world and the philosophical community in particular?... Maxwell's latest book as well as in his work for the past 40 years... are certainly relevant to our efforts in successfully confronting and solving some of the major (global/glocal/local) problems afflicting our world. -- Nader N. Chokr Research Trends Maxwell's key message is a very valid one and yet remains to be fully acknowledged and appreciated: As Maxwell already pointed out in 1984 and 2007 we need to move from knowledge [inquiry] to wisdom [inquiry] in university education and beyond; we urgently need to address our fundamental problems of living by bringing all the values and capacities to bear that we can muster! -- Thomas Mengel Metapsychology (vol. 18, issue 1)
