Learning from the Great Ancients | SCOTT HAMBRICK

We all have access to the world's greatest minds, philosophies, experiments, and ideas. All it takes for us to tap into these is to crack open what my guest refers to as a Great Book, and unlock the lost thoughts, ideas, and secrets to a successful life.

Today I am joined by Scott Hambrick, founder of Online Great Books, to talk about how best to tap into these great ancient works, how to extract the most value from them, where to start when learning about ancient literature and philosophy, the benefits of reading the classics, and what you can learn from the great ancients.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS

  • Why we should all read the classics
  • Harnessing technology to study the greats
  • The depth of the western canon (Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Socrates, etc.)
  • The right way to study ancient literature
  • The benefits of reading the classics
  • The Socratic Method

  • Who and what dictates a "great" book
  • What is language
  • The power of shared inquiry (AKA, curiosity)
  • Understanding truth
