Free Thinking: How to Educate Yourself in the Liberal Arts

Whether you skipped college or need a refresher or supplement
to what you learned, humanities professor Joseph Manca shows how a
college-level liberal arts education can be essentially free and accessible in
‘Free Thinking: How to Educate Yourself in the LiberalArts’.
Professor Manca provides listings and commentaries to help you study and enjoy
high-quality texts, works of art, films, and classical music.

The
book lays out a curriculum that, like college, one can follow over four years,
or at your own pace. The chapters are arranged—not along the lines of
traditional academic departments—but more like life itself, with categories
such as love and desire, utopia and dystopia, and our relationship to the
natural world. This is not a traditional Canon, but is instead a lively listing
of stimulating fiction, nonfiction, and important artworks and music.
