Why Beauty Matters in Classical Education

Is beauty objective or subjective? It's not an easy question, but Classical Et Cetera aims for an answer this week! Our discussion delves into the nature of beauty, its role in shaping the human soul, and why it is not merely subjective. From examples in art and literature to the philosophical foundations of beauty, we examine how an objective understanding fosters a deeper connection to truth and goodness. Join us as we uncover the enduring significance of beauty in education and why it’s essential for cultivating a well-ordered mind and heart.
