See the research sub-series for the notebooks for his course on Simone Weil, which he kept with other material about her thinking. This sub-series comprises lecture notes for Grant's courses at Dalhousie and McMaster universities, along with related material like course outlines and reading lists. The lectures were handwritten either on foolscap or in spiral-bound notebooks. Sheila Grant and the editors of the Collected Works worked through the lecture material in depth, identifying courses and lectures and creating a list of over 100 lectures, from which a sample were included in each of published volumes 2 to 4. (The introductions to the lectures in each volume of the Collected Works provide valuable context, including lists of lectures not published, curriculum development, and notes on his teaching style for graduate and undergraduate students).
The lectures for Dalhousie in the 1950s includes courses: Philosophy 1 (Introduction to Philosophy), Philosophy 3 (Ethics), Philosophy 7 (Plato), Philosophy 14 (Kant), and Philosophy 16 (Augustine). His lectures for McMaster in the 1960s and 1970s include the courses: Myth and Reason, Philosophy and Religion, Philosophy of History, Church and State, Christian Ethics, and Comparative Religion. Other McMaster lectures are found in the two sets of notebooks (identified with capital or small letters by Sheila Grant, e.g. notebook "B"); and three non-labeled notebooks. Some of the lecture subjects include Christianity and Aristotle; the Good in the technological age; Heidegger on technology; Kant and Rawls; Aristotle's Ethics and Politics; Plato and Augustine; Plato's Republic and Laws; Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morals and Zarathustra; Leo Strauss; and Simone Weil. The notebooks may also include course outlines, exams, student lists, notes on various philosophical works by others, unrelated writings, and explanatory notes added later by Sheila Grant.
