This collection concerns educational philosophy and post-apocalyptical survival. This 14th volume in the Editor's Choice series provides insights into the philosophy of education as it relates to the concepts of civilizational collapse, discourses of decline, educating for survival amid climate emergency, cultural apocalypse and the pandemic. It is based on a series of editorials and articles published in the Educational Philosophy and Theory journal through its 55-year history. The articles, written by Editor Michael Peters and colleagues, explore the concept of global apocalypse from the educational philosophy lens. It will be of interest to scholars in philosophy of education and anyone who is working in the field of post-apocalyptic studies.
