Great Books Discussion Course
Join the popular Great Books discussion group which uses Shared Inquiry, a
method of teaching and learning that enables people of all ages to explore the
ideas, meaning, and information found in everything they read. In this type
of discussion, each participant engages in an active search for the meaning
of a work by reading closely, asking questions and discussing actively. The
participants in the group look to the discussion leader for questions, not
answers. The Great Books text is an anthology on a subject and features short
stories, essays, and other media. Class runs for eight weeks beginning Tuesday,
January 27, 2019. This course will use the Great Conversations 3 anthology
from the Great Books Foundation, authors include Sherwood Anderson, Simone
De Beauvoir, Michel Foucault, and others.
