Liberal education has long been a fascination for scholars in a
variety of disciplines and is closely associated with the idea of
the educated person. Seen at one time as a matter for colleges and
universities, over the years it has become central to the debate
surrounding general education in high school and even the earlier
grades. Yet so many and varied are the uses of the term 'liberal
education' that the question arises of whether and how the idea is
any longer a useful or helpful construct. In what way might it
speak helpfully to educational challenges we face today? In what
ways does it still speak helpfully to educational challenges we
face today? In what ways might it be a guide as we search for a
better way forward? These are the central questions that are
addressed in this book. In doing so, the positions of three
theorists John Henry Newman, Mortimer J. Adler, and Jane Roland
Martin who have written about liberal education in a compelling way
and from different perspectives are selected for close analysis.
The analysis is built upon to fashion a new ideal of the educated
person and a new theory of liberal education."
