Two educators at the University of Chicago launched the Great Books Foundation in 1947. Robert Maynard Hutchins, then chancellor of the university, and professor Mortimer Adler shared a vision of book discussion groups in which passionate readers could meet and talk about enduring issues and ideas.
Today more than 850 Great Books groups meet in homes and libraries across the country with thousands of adult participants.
Shared Inquiry discussion and Great Books anthologies are featured in hundreds of courses in colleges and universities throughout the country.
