9781925826005: Creative Subversion: The Liberal Arts and Human Educational Fulfilment

Synopsis

The mushrooming of human knowledge has given rise in our schools and universities, particularly in our arts faculties, to a post-modern despair of ever finding objective truth, spawning a nebula of petty and unrelated subjects driven by the ephemeral fancies of the day.

At the third annual Colloquium of the Christopher Dawson Centre for Cultural Studies, in June 2017, distinguished speakers explored the theme of Education, with a particular focus on liberal education as the proper basis not just for a career in the workforce but (ultimately of far greater importance) for a rich and fulfilling life. This volume contains the full text of their papers.
