I have discovered this post after your viral tweet. I loved taking single book courses and regret that I never got to teach one. When I read Republic in grad school at McMaster, we were in a dining room at the top of our old tower, with a fireplace, starting at 7pm. One student was tasked with the seminar paper, another with the choice of wine for the evening. Incredible experience.
Wow, what an introduction. Sorry I missed the course. I will however, read Plato's Republic. Would have liked to have participated in the discussion. We need more of this curriculum for our young ones today in the education arena. After the plandemic, the souls of our children were sucked dry. It is/was detrimental for the social, intellectual, physical, well being of the most vulnerable of our society. Thank you for bringing this refreshing approach to educating in such bizarre times.
