various Britannica Great Books of the Western World set
Encyclopedia Britannica 1952 Hardcover Very good No jackets as issued set
Complete 54 volume set. It includes, in addition to texts from over 50 of the Western World's greatest authors, two resources that aid and inspire the lifelong study of the Great Books. One of these is the introduction to the set, The Great Conversation which discusses why the Great Books are so important and why a "liberal education" will always be invaluable to society and to one's self. It also offers different approaches to reading the set, which can of course be applied to the books that make up the set individually. The second resource is a two volume Synopticon of The Great Ideas which discusses what the Great Books offer on 102 of what the author describes as the Great Ideas, with references to where these ideas are discussed in each volume.
