The Truth.
For some reason, people associate the college of The University of Chicago with that Wacky Guy with a Bow Tie™[*] which is no more true than the Enrico Fermi Institute or the LAW School, per se ... 🙄
Here's what the Common Core made all undergraduates *encounter*[**]
- Durkheim, 'The Elementary Forms of the Religious Life'
- 'The Marx-Engels Reader'
- Freud, 'The Interpretation of Dreams'
- Thucydides, 'The Peloponnesian War'
- Foucault, 'Discipline and Punish'
- Max Weber, 'The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism'
- Adam Smith, 'The Wealth of Nations'
- Apuleuis, 'The Golden Ass'
*Unavoidably*.
