ashok sent a shout to kpearce 9 hr 33 min ago

Why the Liberal Arts? Is There a Lasting Good?

ashok sent a shout to kpearce 117 days ago

Yeah, I'm working on the dissertation. But people at school can be frustrating sometimes, so in this rant I've included short comments on the significance of the Illiad and Odyssey and Dante's Divine Comedy and Plato's Ideal forms because I do believe this sort of learning will give us a better politics, and if I can't introduce these students to it, then I might as well keep bugging y'all.
