I am very into spirituality; Zen, Yoga and all the scriptures that free the mind of the self image. Philosophy I feel is another animal and it is much more complex and often intimidating and confusing....BUT, I think there is a purpose to study it which is not about pride or trying to become a morally superior intellectual who dominates others for sport. As a poet, I would like to uncover dozens of these thinkers and find out how liberated their minds were and how afflicted they were and be able to convey this info with satire, music and simple conversation. Ben reveals that some of these thinkers helped to liberate the minds of many or at least challenged the status quo. Some of them made things much worse and influenced tyrants. I feel the key to helping people dissolve their conditioning and their group think parasites which prevent them from using critical thinking with the potential for insight and revelation could be finding the connections between all these psychologists, professors and philosophers along with the religious leaders and retaining an understanding that can be imparted without a long and dry diatribe; I intend to spice it up with pop culture and use hip hop as a vessel to spark the interest of others who might be seduced into being a slave to entertainment and believing the main stream....worshiping celebrities on pedestals. This book has shown me that it is worth years of study to be able to tell this epic of the dream of the human story as we atone and realize the simple truth of NOW as we peel back layers of attachment to our narratives. I want to find where religion, philosophy and spirituality meet with history and then let the spirit do its thing with whatever medium it happens to find most enthusiastic; hip hop music video..., book...ect. Like a rapper Prodigy made an epic album called the Hegelian Dialectic which is one of my fav., I too want to help people see how this dream of suffering and release from suffering came about and the lies and misunderstandings that are pervasive in our western culture which were created to keep us in bondage. So ultimately, this book has shown me it is worth the time to be able, like Ben, to offer to the world the importance of this evolution of thinking in history and how wars, the economy, genre's of music and our reality manifested and how to transcend judgement and uncover our inherent wisdom...how to strip away our allegiance to the government or to pagan hipster green nazi..ism. I highly recommend it. Review: Challenging - Ben Shapiro. You love him or you hate him. So liberals beware. This is a short book by historical/philosophical standards. Shapiro summarizes the influence of Greek and Judeo/ Christian thought on the West and as the basis for the foundation of democracy not only in the West but on the Founding Father's and the United States. And of course, progressives will likely find that appalling. Shapiro argues that Greek and Judeo/Christian thought and values are responsible for the birth of science, ended slavery, promoted human/equal rights, has lifted billions out of poverty, and has given dignity to humans (including children) as no other philosophical thought has done. Shapiro also argues that all of that is in danger of disappearing because we are abandoning those values and principles that shaped the West and are retreating into tribalism (us and them/left and right/conservatives and liberals), hedonism (our feel good philosophy) and moral subjectivity (True for you but not for me) where anything goes all under an authoritarian government that controls nearly all aspects of our lives (including what we are allowed to believe?) Shapiro argues that we have come to believe that under moral subjectivity we can solve our problems (history had shown us we can't and that moral subjectivity only deepens the pit and widens the gap). Without an objective morality we lose sight of our moral purpose. In spite of all this, Shapiro does end on a happy note and makes his claim as to how we can recover the greatness that is the West. The Right Side of History is a brief book and not one that is easy to read without some knowledge of Western Civilization (which may be a call to put Western Civilization back into the high school curriculum). Shaprio uses copious references to support his themes. He isn't just an angry Jew with an ax to grind, but presents cogent arguments for his stance. He never argues that the West is perfect but it shines brighter than all others, and without an objective moral standard and an objective moral purpose we will cease taking steps to perfection and retreat once again into paganism. ## Images ![The Right Side of History: How Reason and Moral Purpose Made the West Great - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/715U-5atMXL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Makes me want to devote time to understanding how philosophy shaped our current reality *by M***Y on April 19, 2021* I liked this book a lot.
