Norms and Nobility Ch. 4: The Tyrannizing Image

In this episode, Renee and Karen discuss Ch. 4 of Norms and Nobility, "The Tyrannizing Image". They explore the place and significance of the Ideal Type—that which embodies virtue and excellence—in education historically, why it is central to classical education, and what accounts for the fate of the Ideal Type in the modern era. If you have not read N and N, or if you find it intimidating, this is a good chapter to jump into as it offers a key to understanding how Cl. Ed cultivates wisdom and virtue. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
