Week 3.2 A video of this week I would like to share is about the burning of the library of Alexandria. As a philosophy specialized in ancient philosophy, I have struggled to make sense of the thought of ancient thinker whose work disappear because of the burning of the library. So, I cannot avoid thinking that this burning was a terrible event in history. One fact that astonished me was that the responsible for the burning was Julius Caesar. I do not think that he was, for the dates do not agree. When the burning occurred, the activity of the philosophical schools of Alexandria was flourishing, and it was in the first or second century of our era. Julius Caesar, on the other hand, was killed in the first century BC. Besides, Julius Caesar was a great intellectual: he wrote poems and the famous Gallic Wars. So, why would intellectual have burned an importer center?
