Education that Makes Aquinas Look Modern, feat. John Peterson | Episode XLVI

Send us Fan MailIn his wise and humane Didascalicon, the teacher, canon regular, and mystical theologian Hugh of St. Victor lays out his advice and instructions for teachers and students engaged in liberal study. The heir of centuries of thought in Christendom on the liberal arts, Hugh and his contemporaries were on the precipice of a revolution--the western rediscovery of Aristotle and the subsequent revolution of theology and philosophy, championed above all by Thomas Aquinas. University of Dallas professor John Peterson joins Jonathan and Ryan to discuss the Didascalicon and its role in liberal education.Classical Education Graduate Program at the University of Dallas: https://udallas.edu/braniff/academics/ma/classical_education/Richard M.
