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

Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790) - Edmund Burke
In 1789 French people overthrew their monarchy and took control of the government. The French revolution was no different than any other revolutions. French people wanted to completely change their social and political system and to create a new system. Through it all they killed each other at the highest rate and destroyed their way of living.
An Englishman, and a political thinker Edmund Burke, was watching the French revolution unfold from a distance. His friend from France wrote to him inquiring his opinion on the situation. In 1790 Burke gave his opinion on the matter by releasing the book "Reflection on the revolution in France".
Professor Ron Cline and Erick Nganyange are discussing the French Revolution and Edmund Burke.
