Hail to the beginning of SLE!
Don't know what is SLE? Well, it stands for Structured Liberal Education. It is an unique, academically vigorous residence-based one-year humanity program offered at Stanford University. As a current student in the program, I will report on my SLE experience daily (hopefully) to record my personal experience in this SLE , and, maybe in retrospect, giving my readers, you, a sense of what SLE is like.
Here is a basic schedule for the week. And I will try to update the syllabus a.s.a.p.
Over the summer, we had a short reading list: Homer's Odysseus translated by Lombardo and the Tanakh, the Jewish holy scripture (some parts of it).
This week we will focus on the meaning and method of education, with readings as following:
Plato's Euthyphro, Penguin Classics version included in The last days of Socrates
Heart Sutra: http://www.snibbe.com/buddhism/heart.html
Meditations by Marcus Aurelius:http://classics.mit.edu/Antoninus/meditations.html
Wheel of Life
Will update soon!!
