The Great Books of Western Civilization Cafe

Welcome to the Great Books of Western Civilization cafe. Stop by for a cup of coffee and stay for the stimulating conversation. This area is for dissemination of information concerning the Great Books. Topics can include discussions of the "canon," individual "great books," various Great Books Programs, etc..

The Great Books of Western Civilization page is specifically devoted to the program in use at Mercer University. On any other topic, I will have to claim at least partial ignorance.

This discussion area will be unmoderated, so please be considerate of others when posting your arguments. If this gets to be too unmanageable, I will be forced to remove this service.

Sincerely,

B. Lewis Noles

This Discussion Area Has Been Disabled


After much thought and consideration, I have concluded that I lack the knowledge and the skills to reactivate or maintain the Great Books of Western Civilization Cafe in its present state. I lack the programming skills necessary for the endeavor.

I will continue to maintain an archive of the discussions already posted. You will be able to read the postings that are listed here and on the archives page, but you will be unable to reply to these posts or add new ones.

If anyone is willing to take over the Cafe, I will help them to the best of my ability to set it up, and maintain it. If you are interested, please contact me
