This essay lays out the principles guiding the Hedge School. Philosophy is thinking about everything as a whole, including thinking about thinking itself. Christian Psychology or Christian Anthropology is the study of the one who has a soul, of man, of the laws of holiness and prayer, or moral philosophy, and of how the mind and emotions work, including a response to secular psychology which deals only with these issues. Once our attitude towards theology, philosophy, and psychology is settled, the ordinary pursuit of education is embodied in various disciplines. First of all, literature is the lens of human culture.
Literature is the art of words.
Civics is the business of ordering the close-living human community for its greatest peace and true happiness. History is the memory of men's lives and an accounting for the rise and fall of culture. Art is the study of how to produce things of beauty in the material world, the world of sound, color, and form. Link to Classical Catholic Homeschool website.
