Meets in the San Diego Public Library (820 E Street)
3rd Floor Meeting Room - Saturdays (as scheduled), 2:00 - 4:00 P.M  

 

-Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed,

and some few to be chewed and digested . . .

Francis Bacon: Of Studies

This is a book discussion group which concentrates on those few books worthy of being chewed and digested. This San Diego group has been meeting since 1980 to share insights and answers in discussions of the Great Ideas. Without being cultic, we try to adhere to the University of Chicago Great Books Tradition started by Mortimer Adler and Robert Hutchins. Like Goethe's Faust we have studied industriously, yet may know no more than we did before. None the less, it is always rewarding to participate in the continuing Great Conversation. If the Great Ideas interest you and the opportunity to learn through Shared Inquiry intrigues you,

please join us.
