This channel has little scraps of philosophical and other writings from the 16th through the eighteenth century. Rene Descartes, Isaac Newton, John Locke, Michel de Montaigne, Cotton Mather, King James Bible, Gotthold Empriam Lessing, Voltaire, Rousseau, Immanuel Kant, Emmanuel Swedenborg, Jean de la Fountain, Friedrich Schiller, Daniel de Foe, Ludvig Holberg, Fenelon, Montesquieu, Blackstone and any others I can find.
