| Description: | This book explores the benefits of reading “Great Books,” and is virtually unique in detailing what a series of Great Books classes has looked like over the past decades. Just over 100 years ago Columbia’s John Erskine started a General Honors program that was the precursor of the Great Books programs popularized by his student, Mortimer Adler. As a set term “Great Books” has elicited more than some controversy, especially because most relatively short lists of such works mostly features “dead white men”. However, most any group in America has made the Great Ideas their own. This book explores the benefits of reading “Great Books,” and is virtually unique in detailing what a series of Great Books classes has looked like over the past decades. |
