Scintillating discussions of art and philosophy, by Rebecca Blocksome's Western Thought I class at the Kansas City Art Institute.

What I enjoyed about Augustine's Confessions was that they were relatable. The reading talked about what Augustine was thinking at times in his life, which are also things we'd think about in our society like making money and how someone might think at different periods in life, augustine at the beginning of his career thought about mythological fables and such, while later he abided with god and then looked into aristotle's readings as well. In the reading we are really able to understand the philosopher's way of thinking and how it's not completely misunderstandable but that he's an actual person who has to make a living and enjoys approaching new ways of thought.
