By (author) Joseph Manca

| on special |

normal price: R 614.95

Price: R 552.95


| book description |

Whether you skipped college or need a refresher or supplement to what you learned, humanities professor Joseph Manca shows how a college-level liberal arts education can be essentially free and accessible in ‘Free Thinking: How to Educate Yourself in the Liberal Arts’. Professor Manca provides listings and commentaries to help you study and enjoy high-quality texts, works of art, films, and classical music. The book lays out a curriculum that, like college, one can follow over four years, or at your own pace. The chapters are arranged—not along the lines of traditional academic departments—but more like life itself, with categories such as love and desire, utopia and dystopia, and our relationship to the natural world. This is not a traditional Canon, but is instead a lively listing of stimulating fiction, nonfiction, and important artworks and music.
