Lectures in Moral Philosophy and Humanities by George Grant:

The Goal of Gileskirk is to provide a strong Humanities or Liberal Arts survey of the disciplines of history, literature, philosophy, theology, civics, art, music, and architecture in four great epochs: Antiquity, Christendom, Modernity, and American Culture (American history).

Antiquity


 
Antiquity
This year's focus is Antiquity, from the Genesis account of creation through all the great civilizations of the ancient world to the fall of Rome. This study incorporates the time-honored, classical approach of Moral Philosophy, equipping students with tools for a lifetime of learning: a working knowledge of the timetables of history, a background understanding of great literary classics, a familiarity with the sweep of aesthetic achievement, a basic comprehension of geography, the Principle Approach to discerning the implication of current events, and an emphasis on the application of a Christian worldview to all of life. Students study this period of human achievement in the context of its historical chronology and existing cultural factors as well as its providential and cultural significance. Every other subject and discipline flows from this integrated understanding of God’s world.
