Literature & Ideas is the fifth volume in The Human Record. It turns from the world we discover to the words and ideas we use to make sense of it: 126 discussion cards arranged in six groups, from The Spoken and the Written through The Shapes of Story, How to Live How to Die, The Word and the World, and The Inner World, closing with How We Live Together. Each card is built around a single work or idea and the knowledge behind it, something worth knowing and worth talking about. Made for guides, families, classrooms, and curious readers, it turns literature and ideas into something to read closely, argue with, and discuss.
