Suggested Reading or Watching for our Philosophers
I wanted to open this thread
so our members can share the various good
philosophical resources they've found over time.
It doesn't matter what media it is, only if it's filled with ideas.
Especially with alternative perspectives.
Two I'd like to start with are these.
The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell
I prefer the DVD set, than the book,
it brings a better perspective hearing the man himself
a 6 hour series
WOW, it really brings it all together.
Carlos Casteneda's "Don Juan" series
The stories of his Shamanic apprenticeship are very useful.
If you get past the mysticism,
his ideas about how to live life are excellent.
Skip the first book (this is from a purely anthropological angle)
I started with the "The Power of Silence"
but I'd say start with "A Separate Reality" and work your way up.
