In this excerpt from The Philosophers, unit 4 of The Greeks (Old Western Culture series on the Great Books of Western Civilization), Wes Callihan talks about how stories are the bootcamp for life, especially for children. Children get to practice the emotions of life, such as pain, guilt, love, redemption, heroism, glory, honor, shame, etc. in stories.
