Jonathan Rée Book Talk

[@christiansather8438]

This book jumped out at me in the Philosophy section at Barnes and Noble. Naturally. I misread it as Witchcraft and wondered what a book of that title was doing in the philosophy section. It's an incredibly edifying read and I'm taking a lot of notes. Ree does illustrate well something we take for granted, that the English language has not always been able to speak philosophically. What we understand as formal philosophy has its roots in Greek culture, but even Greek culture was borrowing concepts from Egyptian culture. So the Greeks emulate the Egyptians, the Romans emulate the rGeeks and now we emulate the Romans. So just what does English culture have to contribute to philosophy? And what has philosophy as a discipline contributed to English culture? I find these to be very fundamental questions serious users of English should be concerned with, from my estimation. Thanks for posting this talk.
