Gregory B. Sadler | Self-Directed Learning in Philosophy: Bridging Ancient and Modern Wisdom
About this episode
Gregory B. Sadler has taught and designed Philosophy, Humanities, Religious Studies, Literature, and Critical Thinking courses for over 20 years.
Jesper became interested in Greg's work when he searched for Self-Directed Learning and, by chance, found Greg's YouTube channel dedicated to self-directed learning in Philosophy.
Greg Sadler brings a fresh perspective to our lively discussion on how ancient wisdom parallels modern self-help and the ever-evolving education journey. We peel back the layers of philosophy's public image, addressing stereotypes and the ironic complexities of communication within the field. Greg
Our conversation takes a turn through the less-traveled paths of self-education in philosophy, guiding those embarking on their intellectual quests. We debunk the solitary philosopher's myth, revealing the discipline's communal nature and its relevance to contemporary life. Whether you're a seasoned philosopher or a curious newcomer, Greg offers insights into navigating the works of Plato and Nietzsche and the approachability of online resources like his 'Half Hour Hegel' series, which offers companionship in the sometimes lonely pursuit of knowledge.
As we wrap up our philosophical exploration, literature's profound impact on us stands out. Together with Greg, we reflect on how our understanding of texts like 'The Great Gatsby' or Nietzsche's works evolves.
