Welcome!
Welcome, everyone! I’m thrilled to have you all here. Over the twelve weeks of this cohort, we’re going to dive deep into some of the greatest ideas ever written, and I can’t wait to explore them with you. Our first session kicks off Wednesday, January 7th, from 7–9pm EST, and we’ll meet weekly at that time. If you have any scheduling conflicts, let me know so we can work it out. For future reference, our meetings will be over zoom, and the links to join will be found in the "calendar," tab of the skool community. The only task before our first session is to read Book 1 (Chapter 1) of Plato’s Republic (should take about 45-60 min). As a reminder the full course curriculum can be found inside the skool community under the "classroom," tab. If you’re feeling eager, you’re welcome to jump ahead with the readings or explore supplemental material — and of course, you can ask me any questions here in the community or via DM. I’m excited to be a guide and resource as you start this journey! Take some time now to enjoy the holiday season with your loved ones — and get ready to bring curiosity, energy, and reflection to our first session. This is going to be an unforgettable experience.

Welcome! This is the community page where all future book discussion in the cohort will take place. Begin by introducing yourself, why you joined, and what you're looking to get out of studying the Great Books! I look forward to hearing from you and getting to learn more about your journey. After that, you can navigate to the "classroom," tab where the course curriculum is located.

@Mark Armstrong welcome to the course Mark!! I have the recommended republic translations listed inside the curriculum (classroom->course->week 1) For St. Augustine’s confessions I’ll be recommending the FJ Sheed translation And for Divine Comedy I’m partial to the Esolen Translation Love to hear that you’re a great books educator too, that’s the exact work crucial to helping the West thrive!

@Mark Armstrong yes Esolen’s commentary is superb, and he captures Dante’s theological vision wonderfully. And FJ Sheed is considered the gold standard for Augustine, as he captures the poetic feel better than any other (and Reeves is perfect for Plato). Again, I’m excited to have you here and discuss these great works with you Mark!
