Here here 👏👏

Thanks Bloochoob, it's a pleasure making you acquaintance

Thank you, Kita. I do not have formal training in literature. I learned to read very young, and my father encouraged careful thinking and public speaking through my youth. For my whole life, I have taken the opportunity to listen to lectures and have deep conversations with others. I have so much to learn and think about still🙂😀❤️

Excellent idea, Dqan.

I've read it three times, at different stages of life, and I've cried a waterfall every time. It's the most emotionally evocative books I've ever read.

Thank you. And greetings from Wales, UK 😀👍

Thanks, Carlos. Actually, I deed consider Newton's Principia. It definitely belongs. As I said, there are lots of books which should go on this list. I'll do another one of these.

Not just a pun but also a good ANGLE.

He really DISSECTS the subject into digestible POINTS.

Silent Spring was actually on my shortlist 😀👍

Fantastic! Great to know I'm on the same wavelength with the caliber of books on this list you compiled. :) @@tristanandtheclassics6538

Thanks Xavier, that's really good to know. I appreciate it.🙂👍

Amen to that!

I read Uncle Tom's Cabin for the first time this year and loved it so much!

@@Yesica1993 It is such an important work.

🤣🤣🤣

Corn, corn, and more corn! I'll read the abbreviated version next time.

You have lost me! 🤣

@@racheldemain1940 If you're interested in the axiomatic method, you can find many articles and books on the topic, or you can check any introductory text to higher mathematics.

And the list could go on. Analects by Confucious; The Quran; Virgil's Aeniad.😀 I think I mentioned at the outset that there are loads of books which have shaped us. I think I'll have to do a series of videos😅

Thanks for this Richard, you are right. I actually mis-spoke at that point and was thinking more of factories than the actual workhouse institution. Ì think you can hear me stumble as I try to find my words😀 I'm pleased you caught this, it was a worthy correction. 😀👍

@@tristanandtheclassics6538 I am always pleased to contribute to the #BookTube conversation, especially via decent and magnanimous content makers such as yourself - there are surely not half as many as there might be ?!! (dare I say it).

Spot on. Thank you 😀

I totally agree as to the limited influential effects of Uncle Tom's Cabin outside of America (and even in America itself not even as much as Tristan makes it out to be. NOTE: Is Tristan aware that for a while now there has been a witchy fascist woke-propelled book-banning/burning in this great country of gobblingly consumerist ignoramuses and their culturally deficient representatives in The Congress?Is he aware that this book is one of those being kicked to the curb in this great proudly American Inquisition? But let's face it: It wouldnt be safely PC or woke-approved for Tristan not to have preemptively included not just a woman but a black woman in this stifling "patriarchical" (is that the word they are using now? I think it is) infrastructure of ours. Having said that, Uncle Tom's Cabin should again be required reading in our schools -a big ask considering that the very words "Uncle Tom" now trigger a panic amongst the oversensitive, gluten/peanut allergic SJWs.

😀❤️👋

@@tristanandtheclassics6538im a new subscriber, ur channel is brilliant! ❤️ the content

@tatianaharris3943 Thank you so much Tatiana.❤️

They're also demonstrating they've never read it.

The Bible has a lot of ethical problems, but it deserves a place on this list, by far. I wouldn't put the Koran on a list of Western influences, but certainly on a Northern African, Middle Easter, and Central Asian one.

@@timelston4260The Bible clashes with modernity’s “ethics” , I would disagree that it has ethical problems, the “problems” only appear if you presuppose modern ethics are somehow more valid than those in the Bible

@@JayReacio The Bible's ethics clash with themselves. God gets to do whatever he wants, and no ethic any part of the Bible imposes on humans gets to question him. He gets to command filicide and genocide, favor a specific race, throw people into everlasting torment, demand adoration, everything a psychopath might do. While he acts like an utter narcissist, those writing on his behalf insist he is loving. While, yes, the behavior of the biblical God does clash with normally experienced human ethics, more importantly it clashes with the better ethics contained in the Bible itself. Those whose religious commitments require them not to see this refuse to see it.

You are completely right, and I tried to own that in the opening sentences. These are books of Western origin that have shaped the world at large. A video could easily be made from books from other hemispheres, too. 😀👍

How were those things free?

If they were fairly paid for their work and given decent living and working conditions and then given food, clothing and health care as a bonus, then you might be able to say those things were free. As for using the word "enjoyed " I cannot believe that a thinking, feeling human being could ever use that word in connection to slavery. No freedom, no pay, no justice or protection from the law, beatings, torture, separation from loved ones. Don't you dare tell me there is any enjoyment in that.

Go away
