5 - TGC Lewis - Fr. Cuneo, Educating the Heart

Saturday’s session began with a talk by Fr. Dr. Andrew Cuneo titled "Educating the Heart" based on C. S. Lewis’s book "The Abolition of Man". As science and “rational thought” have grown in prominence in education, Lewis stressed the importance of teaching students to see right from wrong and good from bad—and to have the character to choose well. Cuneo explained the importance of training our children to love what is good and to hate what is bad - as these values do not simply develop automatically. Explained Cuneo, training our feelings and our mind ensures that we will feel rightly so we can act rightly.

The 2015 symposium featured renowned C. S. Lewis scholars, educators, and clergymen who will led attendees through a two-day exploration of Lewis’s thoughts on “the education of the soul”.
