description: This new booklet introduces readers to a paradigm for understanding classical education that transcends the familiar three-stage pattern of grammar logic and rhetoric. Instead this booklet describes the liberal arts as a central part of a larger and more robust paradigm of classical education that should consist of piety gymnastic music liberal arts philosophy and theology. The booklet also recovers the means by which classical educators developed more than just intellectual virtue (by means of the seven liberal arts) but holistically cultivated the mind body will and affections. A must-read for educators wanting to take a second big step toward recovering the tradition of classical education.
