I've got an opportunity to teach an intro seminar on a 'classic text' but hate valorisation of the canon. Any text suggestions? #noheroes

Wait wait what's wrong with the office of heroes?
Ah hard to say on twitter but briefly: leads to unnecessary & harmful homogenisation of our knowledge base and thought styles in philosophy.

I knew it was something like that...

If you gotta teach classic text how about Mengzi? V culturally influential & the Van Norden translation has helpful commentary interspersed.

I can see ppl might say that about a canon (Id maybe still disagree), but if we're talking UG tutes, I dont see those results as inevitable

Probably hangs on what we mean by hero though.
