The Reading Chair episodes are released on Sundays. In this series I take the viewer on a journey through some of my favourite books. The selections I go through are books that I believe challenge the current intellectual paradigm pervading our popular and academic culture. From a traditional perspective, the modern world operates on a number of assumptions that cannot be reconciled with. What makes examining these assumptions challenging is the illusion of free thought and inquiry many believe is real. However, the ability to have debates cannot be considered truly intellectual and about searching for Truth if there are parameters and limits set to constrict how far the debates can go.
The books I review in The Reading Chair are chosen with the intention of piercing through the intellectual bubble we all live and think within. If we want true enlightenment, we must first take out what we take for granted out of the darkness.
