"Mere accumulation of facts does not constitute education"Įva Brauns said that "whoever owns this books owns a treasure " I agree. There is much to be said in praise of the material presented here. We are now more and more worried about learning things that lead directly to earning a living. (As opposed to the Vocational Arts that enable a person to earn a living.) A Liberal Arts education used to be the hallmark of a college education. The Liberal Arts develop the mind and render the person independent. I was constantly surprised at the depth of the lessons that are now being employed in life. Methodically building from the most basic premises as the trivium is developed as you read. It is effectively a lesson book from the beginning. Examined are topics such as the nature and function of language, distinguishing general grammar from special grammar, the study of logic and its relationship to grammar and rhetoric, and applying the concepts of logic, grammar, and rhetoric to literary works. In Renaissance universities, the trivium (literally, the crossing of three part way) formed the essence of the liberal arts curriculum. Opening the door for beginners who seek a thorough grounding in the first arts of human understanding, this book explains the nature of logic, grammar, and rhetoric-the three of the seven liberal arts-and how they relate to one another. |
