I'm reading and talking about Ted Gioia's "Immersive Humanities Course," 52 weeks of World Classics. This week’s reading was the Egyptian Book of the Dead.

27d ago38:15

38:15

I'm reading and talking about Ted Gioia's "Immersive Humanities Course," 52 weeks of World Classics. An interesting combination this week.

Finding a Way with Confucius. Week 4: The Analects 21:11

1M ago21:11

21:11

Confucius’ Analects was my reading this week, accompanied by Chinese traditional music and art. I’ll probably be better off for having read it... First, The Analects is a lot like the book of Proverbs in the Bible: aphorism after aphorism, with very little narrative and not much to connect each paragraph. It was truly like drinking from a firehose.…
