⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A beautiful work that results in provoking deep thought about the ideas that drove societies, key historical figures, and governments through time. Herman invites the reader to take stock of what ideas and world views are driving your daily decisions."

"The catastrophes of the 20th century arose not because men argued too much but because they gave up arguing at all."

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
