About this title

Synopsis

• What do my words say about me? What is the role of human imagination in our daily lives? How does what we read change us as people? • Within our current educational climate, how can we continue to instruct our children so that they can have wisdom rather than confusion, truth rather than falsehood, or enlightenment rather than bewilderment?• For those of us who benefited from a University education that was centered in the Western Tradition, how can we reform our educational institutions so that they can continue to be lively centers of sound learning?• How do we get our educational institutions to recognize the importance of teaching our children and young people not merely the ‘right knowledge’ but the ‘right desires’ as well? Chad Chisholm is an English professor and a professional essayist who provides some answers to these questions. Throughout his academic career, he has developed classical education programs such as the Carolina Institute for Faith and Culture for traditional and continuing education students and graduate students. This is his first collection of essays.
