Common core

The common core is the University of Chicago's implementation of the Great books program for its college. It was founded on the principles of Secular Perennialism by Chicago President Robert Hutchins and philosophy professor Mortimer Adler in the 1940s. It has been modified and expanded in order to address the accusation of deifying Dead white men, but in essence it is still as it was originally intended: a two-year broad introduction to the best thinkers of Western Civilization through original source material. It is taught through Socratic method.
