“Higher Education: Excellence Without A Soul” by Michael Craven

Michael Craven, in his commentary on education, makes the following closing remark:

“Parents must adequately prepare their children to enter such a hostile moral environment and promote the true object of education: the cultivation of wisdom and virtue that honors God, to learn what it means to be human and to open our hearts and minds to the best that has been written and imagined. This was the purpose of a classical liberal education and it still offers a foundation from which we may recover a right knowledge of the true, the good, and the beautiful.”

He highlights the origin of classical liberal arts education, its present day manifestation, and possibly its recovery. Also, ask yourself the question as to why the trend he describes has taken place?
