The Cave and the Light: Plato Versus Aristotle, and the Struggle for the Soul of Western Civilization | Arthur Herman

If you find philosophy boring I encourage you to read about Peter Abelard's steamy love affair and the tragic conclusion. It's pretty wild. #nonfiction #history #philosophy

My philosophy stack...well at least the ones in my bedroom. There are others scattered about the house. 😜

I really need some bookshelves. Anyone know where to find some sturdy shelves for a reasonable price that can be delivered? Lol

Trav I love! I love! 8y

QuoteQueen @Trav the philosophy section is my #1 go to section in a bookstore. 😊 then Sci-fi/fantasy of course. 8y

Trav Yes! Mustn't forget about the sci-fi/fantasy section. That's a must. 8y
