The heart of any culture, as well as its continuity, can be found in its educational tradition, the distillation for the next generation of its highest ideals and most important truths. For the West this began with the Greeks, who set in place, some five centuries before Christ, the main aspects of a tradition that lasted, with significant developments, up until very recent times. This course will trace that tradition, using both primary and secondary source material from its origins in ancient Greece to recent Catholic teachings on education. It will examine the great challenge to that tradition and the change that has taken place since the eighteenth century, and some of the implications of that change for educational practice and for the state of the culture at large.
