About this listen
This talk answers the following questions, received from a contact.
1) When you refer to "classical education" what exactly is it that you mean? What is the exact curriculum that you are trying to recreate? Where/when in history is this curriculum?
2) If "classical" refers to Ancient Greece and Rome, would it be more accurate to say you provide a "Scholastic" curriculum? I ask because I noticed about a third of your courses in the Bachelor's program are more recent than the classical period.
3) Are there any more recent books that you have thought are capable of supplanting a text from the ancient times? For example, a book on ethics that incorporates Aristotle's thought but also divine revelation. I have heard that in the late 19th/early 20th century (in the wake of Pastor aeternus) many Thomistic "manuals" were written that attempted something like this.
