What Is A Classical Education? And Why Does It Need Defending?

In this episode, Tracy Lee Simmons, classical scholar, author of Climbing Parnassus , and friend of Memoria Press, joins us to present "A Call for Restoration"—his argument for and introduction to Sir Richard Winn Livingstone's book, A Defence of Classical Education.

Defending the study of Latin & Greek, Logic, and the Great Books has never been more important. Livingstone's book offers a look back to a time in history when the study of ancient languages and classical studies was paramount in the classroom, but is losing ground in the cultural mindset. We live in the consequence of that time and Livingstone's arguments for the restoration of classical education have never been more relevant.

Join us as Tracy Lee revisits the historical context of classical learning in Livingstone's time, as he highlights its ever-diminishing cultural value in the face of modern educational priorities, and discusses how we, adults and children alike, must advocate for and defend a curriculum that upholds Truth, Goodness, and Beauty that have gone missing in our cultural landscape.
