Sam, a first-year PhD candidate at Boston University, focuses on Plato's moral psychology but has a broad interest in various philosophical texts. His top book choices include "The Passion According to G.H." by Clarice Lispector for its deep psychological insight, Plato's "Symposium" which inspired his philosophical journey, and Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan Novels for their contemporary relevance and dynamic storytelling. He finds his creativity peaks late at night and wishes to converse with Socrates about Plato, highlighting his passion for philosophical dialogue.
Reading Clarice Lispector's "The Passion According to G.H." is an immersive experience; it challenges readers to engage thoughtfully, weaving through complex themes of psyche and divinity.
Plato's "Symposium" was a pivotal philosophical text for me, deeply resonating with my life and solidifying my desire to pursue philosophy as a field.
Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan Novels are dynamic narratives that force readers to rethink contemporary education while delivering impactful storytelling that reads quickly.
My most productive time is from 10pm to midnight, as creative thoughts flow right before bed; I need to write them down to clear my mind.
