\n<\/span>They are attempting to read all of the pieces Bloom\u2014the Yale academic who bemoans the shifts to the academic curriculum over the course of his lifetime in this piece\u2014highlights.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Claude and Dan try to work through each book from a couple of different contexts. They cover the historical context of the situation that created the writing and the critical context\u2014how this stuff has been analyzed and handed down over the years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And then they discuss how they appreciate or under-appreciate the work itself. While I love getting the historical and critical context, I just like someone more educated than I helping me to really appreciate these works. Claude and Dan provide the a-ha moments I seek.<\/span><\/p>\n
