Imagine a classroom where books and ideas from the world's greatest minds are freely discussed in accessible ways. Fill that classroom with a wide range of students spanning a 25-year period of insights and experiences. Sit in on a lively discussion between these past, present and future thinkers, and see where their ideas take you. Headmaster Peter Bachmann has made just such an invigorating liberal arts exploration available to us all. Using over 400 student papers from the Great Books class he taught at Flintridge Preparatory School, he has created a virtual dialogue between himself and his students that transcends time and place. Together they explore the pertinence of voices of the past like Aristotle, Shakespeare and Thoreau to the digital age of today. And (finally!) you're invited to join them. Everyone from students, educators, and alumni to the most ardent autodidacts will find relevance and resonance in these discussions.
