Some don’t have a lot of time +and want to gain knowledge as fast as possible. Others prefer to extract as +much knowledge as they can by pondering a work’s every paragraph and +page. Still others prefer to study a work’s visual elements–its photographs +and sketches–before diving into the words. + +There are 21 patterns in this pattern language. They are grouped into four +sections called Spirit, Atmosphere, Roles, and Customs. As you study the +patterns from each section, consider the structure of this language: **the +patterns from the Spirit section, at the beginning of the language, help to +define the study group's core, its spirit of learning. The patterns that follow +this section, in Atmosphere, Roles and Customs, are all intimately tied to the +earliest core patterns and serve to re-enforce them**. + +## Concepts + +| Concept | Meaning | +|--------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| [Great] Literature | Piece of information in it's original form, un-destiled, no summarized, etc. | + + +## Summary + +### 1.

Spirit + +### 1.1 Knowledge Hydrant + +> . . . where can one obtain knowledge in its fullest, unfiltered, unsimplified, form? + +This ignorance about great literature is widespread. It exists today primarily +because several important ideas about great literature have been forgotten. +These include some of the following facts: + +- The hard work put into the study of great literature is worthwhile because +it ensures that people retain the knowledge they wish to obtain +- Great literature is much easier to understand when it is studied in an +intelligent sequence ([4.2 SEQUENTIAL STUDY](#42-sequential-study)) +- It is easier and more rewarding to study great literature with other people ([1.2 POOL OF INSIGHT)](#12-pool-of-insight)) + +**Discover the great literature in your profession or area of +interest—the finest books, articles, and speeches ever +written—and then begin an earnest study of these works.** + +So how do you find the great literature worthy of study? Ask people. Ask +knowledgeable people which authors they like, what are their favorite books, +what profoundly influenced them? + +After identifying the works, form or join a study group ([1.2 POOL OF INSIGHT](#12-pool-of-insight)), order the works +to be studied ([4.2 SEQUENTIAL STUDY](#42-sequential-study)), and compose an [4.3 AGENDA](#43-agenda). + +### 1.2 Pool of Insight + +> . . . once you've discovered your [KNOWLEDGE HYDRANT](#11-knowledge-hydrant), it can be overwhelming to drink from it. This pattern suggests how to make the study +of great literature easier and more rewarding. + +**To obtain the fullest understanding of great literature--to penetrate its +meaning – it is tremendously helpful to read and study a work on one's own +and then engage in meaningful dialogue on the work with others.** + +In dialogue, people get the chance to learn from themselves and from their +colleagues. In communicating how they understand something, people may: + +- clarify what confused others +- expose their own misunderstandings +- reveal new ideas +- articulate that which they didn't know they knew + +There is a spirit present in dialogues that one doesn't +find in many other learning environments. Frequent meetings help sustain this +spirit. **When a group doesn't meet frequently, it can struggle to keep its +momentum and enthusiasm**; lively subjects and debates can fade between +meetings, and if people miss just one meeting, they will be absent for a very +long period. **Many groups sustain a group's spirit by meeting weekly or +biweekly**. + +Group study also helps motivate people to learn, especially when they are no +longer officially "in school." A reading assignment every week or every other +week can help individuals continue to learn while balancing work and family +life. + +**Read and study literature on one's own, but discuss it with +others in a regular study group. Aim to ask questions about +what you don't know and explain what you do know. Your +exchanges with colleagues will enrich your understanding +immensely.** + +The best study groups are those in which individuals feel comfortable +learning with others ([1.3 SAFE PLACE](#13-safe-place)). + +Atmosphere plays an important role in a dialogue. Some environments +promote dialogues ([2.1 COMMON GROUND](#21-common-ground), [2.2 PUBLIC LIVING ROOM](#22-public-living-room)) +and some don't. + +The most enriching study happens when a group has a [MOTIVATED +MODERATOR](#32-motivated-moderator) and [PREPARED PARTICIPANTS](#34-prepared-participant)... + +### 1.3 SAFE PLACE + +### 1.4 ENDURING ENERGY + +### 1.5 KINDRED COLLABORATORS + +## 2.
