About the course

Currently in classical Christian education circles, many know of Mortimer Adler or at least have heard of the Great Books, but not as many have benefited from a more direct interaction with Adler’s many writings and ideas. Adler’s vision of the goal of education, for example, is very similar to that espoused by most classical Christian schools. Education, when done well, provides and cultivates intellectual and moral virtues that equip humans with what is necessary to be happy. Education, at its best, enables us to pursue the goods of life and in turn the good life. It teaches us how to live well. In these two evenings, we will discuss The 12 Paideia Principles and a powerful essay about listening.
