What is a Great Books approach? -Angelina Stanford
In this session, Angelina Stanford helps us to understand what a great books program is, what are the different filter we can use for selecting book lists for a humanities class, and how to think about the different kinds of great books. Understanding this is central to understanding how the great books fit into the larger vision of a classical liberal arts program and why we do what we do at Paideia.
