The Classroom
Welcome to the Class. Here, we'll explore some of the most influential/classic 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 needed. 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 appear on the podcast. Yours, student Erick Nganyange ericknga7@gmail.com
