The Great Books and Politics.
Casement, William
Perspectives on Political Science, v20 n3 p133-40 Sum 1991
Argues that the study of Great Books need not be a politically conservative enterprise. Suggests that such a program be extended to offering the best education to all and the teaching of critical thinking. Urges that non-Western works be included as well as the best of women and minority writers. (DK)
