Commentary: Classical Liberal Education Is Scarce, Embattled, and Essential
Update: 2025-11-25
Description
Excellence in most any interesting or worthy human undertaking requires years of discipline and training. To perform at the highest levels of sports, the arts, law, medicine, commerce, teaching, scholarship, writing, military service, statesmanship, and virtually every useful, honorable, or intrinsically rewarding pursuit typically depends on extensive discipline and training.
It would be odd, therefore, if excellence as a citizen and human being called for anything less. Indeed, down through the ages a liberal education, an education to foster flourishing as a free person, was understood as essential to the achievement of civic and human excellence.
