This talk will explore the survival of Great Books as an antidote to chaotic intellectual forces as well as a tool for critical thought within higher education. It will also highlight a select few texts that embody the idea of Great Books by transcending time, place, and the ever-changing preoccupations of the modern world.
Presented by Mark Zunac, Associate Professor, Literature, Writing and Film as part of the Fall Fairhaven Lecture Series "Standing the Test of Time."
