Description:
St. John’s College is a community dedicated to
liberal education. Such education seeks to free
men and women from the tyrannies of unexamined
opinions and inherited prejudices. It also
endeavors to enable them to make intelligent,
free choices concerning the ends and means of
both public and private life.
At St. John’s, freedom is pursued mainly through
thoughtful conversation about great books of the
Western tradition. The books that are at the
heart of learning at St. John’s stand among the
original sources of our intellectual tradition.
They are timeless and timely; they not only
illuminate the persisting questions of human
existence, but also have great relevance to
contemporary problems. They change our minds,
move our hearts, and touch our spirits.
