Readings in Western Culture – Great Conversations 2, Great Books Foundation

« back to classes page
ClassGraphic Reading selections curated by the Great Books Foundation provides an opportunity to challenge one’s understanding in dialogue with others equally interested in exploring the Western cannon. Discussions encourage participants to exchange ideas generated by some of our culture's best writings, from the Bible to the Middle Ages to the Enlightenment to contemporary America. Selections include prose, philosophy, poetry and essays. For the Spring 2025 semester will use The Great Conversations 2 (Great Books Foundation c. 2006) available in paperback through the Great Books Foundation (College & Book Groups Section) and Amazon (New and Used). We will also read the still controversial Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil (Penguin Classics, 2006) by Hannah Arendt. Other authors include Carver, Descartes, Donne, Dostoevsky, Melville, Poe, Synge among others.  Please join us for lively and thought-provoking discussions in one of OLLI’s long standing study groups.
