  • Summary

  • On this episode of *Classical Et Cetera,* the gang sits down to discuss the benefits of reading books that you disagree with—and how engaging with diverse perspectives in literature is essential for intellectual and personal growth.

    The importance of an education where you read difficult books cannot be understated. Why? Understanding opposing viewpoints prepares individuals to defend their beliefs confidently as they encounter differing positions in the world. The role of literature, including both fairy tales and classical texts, is most important in shaping moral understanding and critical thinking skills from a young age.

    So, if you've ever had a list of books that you're afraid to read—listen to our discussion and see where it takes you!
