Truth is always the same for all men who learn. Because freedom is a self-evident principle, its result is freedom. Therefore man becomes free when he realizes in actuality his potentialities and when this freedom is acquired through reasoning. Education maintains a strict divorcement from the practical, mundane considerations attendant upon vocational or professional preparation. The educator is faced to seek a formulation of the aims of education in harmony with the purpose of God.
All educational aims are unvarying.
The basic beginning of traditionalism tap ancient times as far back as Socrates , Plato , and Aristotle . The actual foundation upon which traditionalism is built is a combination of Platonic and Aristotelianism coupled with the doctrine of the Roman Catholic church. St. Augustine developed a workable doctrine between the two, but his synthesis was incomplete and smothered in paganism. Not until the time of St. Thomas Aquinas was Plato-Aristotle theory successfully coupled with sound doctrines of the church. Thus the beginning of traditionalism as a major school of philosophical thought is attributed to Aquinas.
