This essay was kind of hard to understand because it was kind of vague about what a "great books education." He kind of made it seem that for us to fully understand and appreciate ithe need to actually experience it. I think in theory it's a good idea, but since I think Crabtree dwelled to much on the good things about it rather than on what exactly a Great Books Education is.
