The Classroom
Welcome to the Class. Here, we'll explore some of the most influential/classical books and documents ever written on political philosophy, Religion, Literature, and more. Most importantly, we will try to understand their modern relevance.
This podcast serves two primary purposes, which I'd like to refer to as my "dual motivations." Firstly, it fulfills a personal and somewhat self-serving objective: to archive all the valuable insights and teachings I've received from my professor Ron Cline.
Secondly, I aim to safeguard Professor Ron's wisdom for not only my benefit but also for yours and that of future generations. The core concept involves creating an avenue for revisiting and absorbing his profound guidance whenever the need arises.
It's worth noting that this intention extends beyond Professor Ron's contributions; I am committed to earnestly preserving the teachings of any guest/educators who will appear on the podcast.
Yours, student

A Student Who Became A Teacher - (Plato)
Welcome to season 2 of the classroom.
In this season we will be discussing Plato’s Dialogues and trying to understand the mind of Socrates.
Socrates was a Greek philosopher from Athens who is credited as the founder of Western philosophy and among the first moral philosophers of the ethical tradition of thought, whose way of life, character, and thought exerted a profound influence on Western philosophy. Socrates never wrote a word, all we know about him is through his student/follower Plato.
Plato was a philosopher during the 5th century BC. He was a student of Socrates and later taught Aristotle. He founded the Academy, an academic program that many consider being the first Western university.
In this episode professor, Ron Cline gives us a little bit of introduction to 5th century Ancient Greece, Plato, and Socrates.
Thank you for listening.
