Some of you might already know the Harvard Classics collection ("Five Foot Shelf"); as someone who's following the 15 min/day method, I must say, things are appearing to me differently as they normally would. And by that, I humbly mean that I feel like my sense of perception and criticism has been sharpened.

Have you guys heard about it before?
Also, what would the "liberal education essentials" be?

I suppose OP is referring to this >> http://www.mensetmanus.net/inspiration/fifteen_minutes_a_day/
>>
>>7702117
Yes, thank you. Have you followed the one year reading program?
>>
>>7702099
I have the third volume at home. I bought it for like $3 or something.
>>
I have the entire 5 foot shelf collection from the original run. It's a great selection.

Absolutely zero Aristotle. Not much on medieval. Meh.

That's almost something I've been looking for for a long time. It's only for seminaries though. Don't you know any other scheme like this one that lists an entire reading program? Thanks, mate!
>>
>>7702293
That's actually seminars not seminaries. It's the entire reading program. Alternatively you could go with the list from How to Read a Book by Adler which is available on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_books#Sample_list

>>7702331
Oh, you're right. My bad. Thank you very much, again.
>>
I have the collection cause it was my dad's, he never opened a single one. And that's fair, all the translations they use are antiquated and generally poor. Good collection of works but it's best you get them elsewhere.
>>
>>7702388
Take a look at the first volume. It describes the method that OP is talking about.
>>
Bump. This actually interests me.
>>
>>7702388
You could post pictures of them in the shelf, couldn't ya
>>
Anyone has any idea of how what >>7702274 posted could be done? Just read through the whole program or what?
>>
The Peace Revolution podcast is a good accompaniment.

This.

I have stumbled upon this thing in the past. I've tried to follow it through a couple of weeks but by the end of the period I was tired of reading it in my computer. Might get back to it though.

They're all lefties, aren't they?
