  • JUSTICE or DEATH - There Is No Option for Cowardice: Crito by Plato - Harvard Classics Rev- HC2 Ep5

    Send us Fan Mail

    The trial and death of Socrates is a remarkable story about one man's decision to defy the mob of society and choose truth over unrighteousness. So many lessons can be pulled from the story such as sacrifice, justice, betrayal, and corruption. The simple act of telling the truth can make waves that can last for thousands of years.  The conversation he has with Crito is one of steadfast courage in the wake of an unjust government.  Where are the men like him today? God only knows.

  • Sometimes Freedom is Only Found Through Death: The Apology by Plato - Harvard Classics Rev- HC2 Ep4

    Send us Fan Mail

    The Trial of Socrates is a remarkable story about one man's decision to defy the mob of society and choose truth over unrighteousness. So many lessons can be pulled from the story such as sacrifice, justice, betrayal, and corruption. The simple act of telling the truth can make waves that can last for thousands of years.  Socrates was a veteran, a husband, and a father but we know him today as the founder of the Socratic method and one of if not the wisest philosophers to have ever lived.  Where are the men like him today? God only knows.

  • The Pious ABOLITIONIST You NEVER Heard of - John Woolman: Harvard Classics Review - HC1 Ep2.

    Send us Fan Mail

    The Journal of John Woolman is a documented journey of a remarkable man. Although, like me, you probably have never heard of John Woolman his story I feel can resonate with us all. He is a devout Quaker hell-bent on living a life that is loyal to his religion and traditions and at the same time courageously willing to challenge the status quo. His journal makes up a writing style that is logical and pious. He does not deviate from his ideas once he judges them as good and moral. An abolitionist before it was mainstream and a man who truly walked in the teaching of Christ.

  • How to Build a Virtuous Character - Benjamin Franklin: Harvard Classics Review - HC1 Ep1.

    Send us Fan Mail

    Benjamin Franklin is one of those individuals in history I could sit around a fire with, sipping a cold brew, and just listen to the tales and stories of his remarkable time in history. His wit, his energy, and his lessons have placed him on the shelves of history as a truly remarkable founding father. I hope you enjoy this episode of Franklin's Autobiography as much as I enjoyed reading and creating it. Live virtuously and live well!

  • Reading Through the Harvard Classics 50 Volume Series - Intro: Rob Pirie | Rediscovering Education

    Send us Fan Mail

    Welcome Everyone!

    When did our education system die? I think about that often...

    Please join me in embarking on the Harvard Classics Series by Dr. Charles Elliot. This series dates back to around 1910 and is a collection of literature that I believe needs to be revived and rediscovered. I look forward to reading and discussing all 50 volumes with you as we learn about the great ideas of those who came before us.  Feel free to reach out with any questions as I would love to hear from you!
