hey welcome to park notes I'm Parker setticase I'm a philosopher and theologian and this is a channel where I help you study think and read more deeply this video is going to be a little bit different than my normal ones usually I show you study habits how to read more books how to study philosophy how to think more clearly and manage your life using notebooks but you guys keep asking me for bookshelf tours so I thought I would humor you now I got to warn you my office is super duper messy unkempt I have books all over the place notebooks everywhere this is not the office of someone who has their life together sorry I just got to let you know so if this is like anxiety inducing for you then sorry this is like this is how I live I'm going to try to organize it soon this is just me in situ this is me in my element so just know it's going to be pretty wild but a lot of you guys asked for it so here you go let me know what you think and if you have any organizational tips for me then leave those in the comments as well all right let's jump in okay so here's the office it's pretty messy it's it's pretty wild just looking in you see stuff's all over the place I'm not super organized I'm trying to get there I cleaned this up for you guys a while back but then it got messy again this is just a quick look books everywhere notebooks all over the place two desks both completely covered it's a mess this is like a working office this is where I do my work open projects everywhere stacks of books everywhere let's start start with the Overflow bookshelves these are bookshelves where I keep a lot of my theology books these came in handy while I was doing my masters of theological studies and my other masters of systematic theology here's a bunch of John Calvin books and a little frog these are going to be like pretty heavy theology books and textbooks and then some Gordon Clark down here too got some extra Bibles Richard Mueller's post-reformation reform dogmatics so this just overflow I don't really know what to do with these ones G archipelago all sorts of fun stuff but moving back into the office you'll see some saddleback leather stuff no surprise there if you know me you know I love Saddleback leather this was my first one ever this is just their classic leather briefcase I got this one back in 2015 and I paid for it with a frog video that I made it's called giant African bull frogs eat everything in sight you may be able to find that on YouTube actually I know you'll be able to find it it's got 34 million views just search frogs eating and you should be able to find it or I don't know maybe I'll put a link in the description maybe you've already seen it uh that's me yelling get them son I get all excited please don't hate me here's a picture from Stone Ridge art studios these are two wood frogs breeding I love this picture so much I'm going to get a bunch more of his work for the office here's a print from Frank fretta this is Conan he's in this dungeon he's sitting on a snake about to destroy him it's awesome grandfather backpack from Saddleback a thin front pocket leather briefcase it's got two pouches in the outside there's the uh double or big thick I don't know what it's called but there's another Saddleback briefcase and I've got books all over the place yeah it's a mess I need to organize my life a little bit better but I have so many projects going that I just like stack up the books in order to help myself remember what I have going so here's let me just give you like a panoramic here is the office itself and then maybe I'll just give you an overview of the bookshelves and you guys can let me know in the comments like what else do you want to see do you want me to go through each individual book that would take forever but maybe I can just go in more depth into the individual bookshelves that could be helpful and give you some book recommendations but yeah for now I'm just going to give you a broad overview here is like my history of philosophy type stuff got my Frederick ceston that guy's the man got some of these primary texts the penguin Classics I think are really good I love a good penguin Classics got some philosophy of Mind artificial intelligence stuff over here some more philosophy platonism type stuff going on here and this is just general philosophy I need to organize it better but I know where they are so if I need to find the Philosopher's toolkit I know it's on this shelf right here but I'm sure there's a better way to organize them here are a bunch of these very short introductions by Oxford I love these I've read through several of these and they're awesome I'm going to read through them all here's my uh British idealism Bradley and bosen Q over here my philosophia Christie collection that's an Evangelical philosophy Journal got some more free will stuff here some n down here we got a whole bunch of p and transcendental arguments my copy of the

I want to read like there's not really a whole lot of Rhyme or Reason here if anyone has a method of organizing their books that they like then let me know but as it is right now it's just like
