Book to discuss in first class: “The Prince”by Niccolò Machiavelli, Penguin edition (2003) preferred; then selections from “Great Conversations 3” anthology
This course explores literature recommended by the Great Books Foundation. The group is made up of individuals who love to read and partake in lively dialogues. Discussion leadership rotates among class participants. Join the lively discussions in finding deeper meaning behind the printed words. Each semester will begin by discussing a complete book (such as “Howards End” by E. M. Forster or “The Prince” by Niccolo Machaivelli). After that, each class will discuss a selection from a Great Books anthology (such as “Great Conversations 3” or “Taking Action”). Discussion Questions from The Great Books Foundation will be available for all selections. Selections will be described in Newsletters. Please read the selection before each class. Come and try a class—you may be pleasantly surprised!
