About us
The Literary Classics Book Club of San Diego is launching a new weekly discussion meeting focused on readings from the traditional "Western Civ" curriculum. These will be weekly in-person discussion meetings held in Old Town. These events will also be posted on our regular MeetUp page at https://www.meetup.com/the-classics-book-club/ , where interested persons may sign up to participate in the discussions.
Our reading list grew out of the iconic Columbia University “CC” course which became one of the foundations of the Core Curriculum, adopted at Columbia and later by many other liberal arts colleges. Developed beginning in 1919 in the aftermath of the First World War, the course was intentionally constructed over many decades by scholars from history, philosophy, politics, religion, literature, and economics to introduce students to many of the central texts and enduring questions of Western civilization.
