In the book "Rescuing Socrates," college professor Roosevelt Montas defends the teaching of the so-called "Great Books" that form the backbone of a classic liberal arts education.
He will take part in a public conversation at Rhodes College, Thursday, April 13 at 6 p.m. in the Blount Auditorium, with a reception beginning at 5:30.
Rhodes Humanities professor Jonathan Judaken says that while the classics may be challenging and weighted toward European thinking, they still form the backbone of a liberal arts education and should be defended from attacks on both the left and the right.
