The Future of Liberal Education
0
This article suggests that the current difficulty in conceiving an intelligible defense of liberal education derives from its no longer intelligible roots in classical philosophy or cosmology. The article suggests a look back to those other Western roots, found preeminently in the Hebrew Scriptures, which present a cosmology strikingly not at logical odds with the discoveries of modern science, much more fully in harmony with the modern reverence for freedom, and supporting a sharp critique of the contemporary confusion concerning the prime locus of education, i.e. the family.
