CiRCE Booklist {III}

I finally filled up another page after taking some time off to meditate on some of what I’d learned. This list includes not only books suggested by the person giving the lecture, but also any books that I heard a student mention favorably, especially if the teacher responded positively when the title was mentioned.

Enjoy!

Lecture: {Workshop 13} Integration, Imitation, Contemplation: The Natural Order of the Curriculum
Lecturer: Leah Lutz

Norms and Nobility: A Treatise on Education by David Hicks

Leisure: The Basis of Culture by Josef Pieper

Home Economics: Fourteen Essays by Wendell Berry {specifically, the essay Loss of the University}

Lecture: {Workshop 10} The Nature of the Arts and Their Place in the Curriculum
Lecturer: John Hodges

Ideas Have Consequences by Richard Weaver

Perelandra by C.S. Lewis

That Hideous Strength by C.S. Lewis {specifically, watch the character Merlin’s perspective on modern culture}

In addition to specific titles, there were authors suggested: C. S. Lewis, Plato, and Saint Augustine.

Lecture: {Workshop 15} The Deep Logic of the Language Arts
Lecturer: Andrew Kern

Ideas Have Consequences by Richard Weaver {you know it’s a winner if it is on the list more than once, from more than one lecturer}

Summa Theologica by Thomas Aquinas

The Book of Memory: A Study of Memory in Medieval Culture by Mary Carruthers

The Craft of Thought: Meditation, Rhetoric, and the Making of Images by Mary Carruthers

Kern, also, mentioned a couple authors. Maybe you have heard of them before: Aristotle and Plato.

I will try to detail more of my notes on these lectures later. Of this particular list, Andrew Kern’s The Canons of Rhetoric was my favorite.
