Educate Yourself Through Elliot
Do you crave knowledge? Do you want to be able to hold your own in educated discourse? Are there gaps in your education you've always wanted to fill but can't find the time?
I can help. I have a PhD in Jewish History and recently read and recorded hour-long podcast episodes on 20 famous works. In each episode, I review a book in depth and discuss its most famous passages and ideas from my perspective as a conservative American and Orthodox Jew.
Plato's "Republic," Rousseau's "Emile," Zangwill's "The Melting Pot," Melville's "Moby Dick," Hayek's "The Road to Serfdom," Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason," Betty Friedan's "Feminine Mystique," Shakespeare's "King Lear," and Dostoevsky's "The Idiot" are just some of the works I cover. Are you ready for an intellectual journey?

"Critique of Pure Reason" by Immanuel Kant
Jul 09, 2023
45m
One of the most famous – and difficult – works of philosophy ever written, Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason" explores the limits of human knowledge, concluding that we can know very little about the actual world. Mostly, we can only know about the world of phenomena – i.e., the world we see, hear, smell, taste, and touch. Since G-d and the soul lie beyond this world, we can neither prove nor disprove their existence, he argues.

One of the most influential novels ever written (it sold the equivalent of 25 million copies within a decade), "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is a deeply religious and passionate book that helped turn many American against slavery. When Abraham Lincoln met its author in 1862, he said to her, "So you're the little woman who wrote the book that started this great war."

Outside religious books, you will be hard-pressed to find better life advice. Stoicism may no longer be a flourishing philosophical school, but much of the wisdom in "Letters From a Stoic" by Seneca – one of Rome's most famous philosophers – is timeless.
