Terrific discussion. I was interested in the observation that many of the classics come from points of inflection in history, from encounters between cultures: these prompt thinkers to consider what is universal. Times of vulnerability and change are openings for societies, for individuals, for philosophies.
What a wonderful conversation about the Western Canon, what it has to offer people today and that it isn’t a collection of writings by dead white males. Thank you both so very much for this dialogue.
Wonderful discussion. Thank you, Amna and Roosevelt
