Talking with the Great Books

The "Great Books" posts are primarily going to be a reflection on my studies at HMU. I think it might not be bad to have an outlet as I'm forming some of my ideas, and since I'm working in a Great Books program, the name is apt. These sorts of posts will be examining ideas across authors, usually those who are in the "Western Canon" but also relating to those I'm simply familiar with. So anything labeled "Great Books" is going to be what some folks call "syntopical within the western canon".
