The Shimer Great Books School

"At Shimer Great Books School at North Central College, you will immerse yourself in the works of the world's greatest minds. You will seek understanding in the pages of ancient and modern texts and ask difficult questions alongside other individuals who have chosen to pull up a seat to the table — craving conversation, reading and a life full of meaning."
Works whose titles are in quotes are typically journal articles or chapters of books.
This is a CCBFC (certified click-bait free challenge.)
