Hello! My name is Alyssa Linton. I am a second semester sophomore at The University of Oklahoma, and I am majoring in Letters: Constitutional Studies on the Pre-law track.
My time here at OU has, thus far, stoked the flames of my burning love for literature and philosophy. However, this is not the case for most of my peers. Which, to be sure, is no fault of the University. It is difficult indeed to stoke coals that have yet to meet a spark. Generation Z is largely uninterested in classical literature and historically significant thinkers. Most are unaware that such a thing as The Great Conversation exists. Yet, regardless of the competition social media and short attention spans pose, I believe that hope is not lost. Within this blog space, it is my sincere desire to digestively bring to life aspects of The Great Conversation, while still maintaining the integrity of the great thinkers I intend to represent. For as Socrates said “the unexamined life is not worth living.”
