The Rebus Community is looking for forward-thinking academics, students, and citizens to
come help us reimagine publishing and its impacts on education.
We are currently working towards releasing the first few parts of the textbook, which will
cover core concepts in Western philosophy and other traditions, with faculty joining us
from institutions across North America, Africa, and Europe. The book will be freely
available to students and faculty and openly licensed to enable reuse.
Please contact [ mailto:%20zoe@rebus.community | Zoe
