The Great Books: VII. The Education of Adults
http://the-great-books.blogspot.com/2016/08/vii-education-of-adults.html
Virtual library / blogging the "classics". Friday, August 26, 2016. VII The Education of Adults. From The Great Conversation. By Robert Maynard Hutchins. The great, wild proliferation of the curriculum of American schools, colleges, and universities is the result of many influences; but we can say with some assurance that if adult life had been looked upon as a time for continued learning, the pressure toward proliferation would have been measurably reduced. What is a good life? By Robert Maynard Hutchins.

The Great Books: VI. Education for All

Virtual library / blogging the "classics". Friday, August 26, 2016. VI Education for All. From The Great Conversation. By Robert Maynard Hutchins. We must now return to the most important question, which is : Can everybody get this education? When an educational ideal is proposed, we are entitled to ask in what measure it can be achieved. If it cannot be achieved at all, those who propose it may properly be accused of irresponsibility or disingenuousness. The two criticisms I have mentioned come to the s...

Virtual library / blogging the "classics". Friday, August 26, 2016. VIII The Next Great Change. From The Great Conversation. By Robert Maynard Hutchins. SINCE education is concerned with the future, let us ask ourselves what we know positively about the future. We know that all parts of the world are getting closer together in terms of the mechanical means of transportation and communication. We know that this will continue. The world is going to be unified, by conquest or consent. We see at once that th...

A Post Stratfordian Shake-speare Blog. Practiceth more the Pennie than the Penne. The last post examined the first sixteen lines of The Italian Taylor and His Boy. Armin sets off the last sixteen lines of the work as a message to a specific person. Prior to that message, he tells us who he is addressing. The perfumed Politician” we quickly recognize as Shaksper. The muske-cod perfume of both Osric in Hamlet and Asinius in Satiromastix is discussed here. Shaksper as an agent of government.
