Our free read this week is Beauty in the Word: Rethinking the Foundations of Education by Stratford Caldecott. In this book, Caldecott explores the meaning of education by rethinking the traditional trivium of grammar, dialectic, and rhetoric as remembering, thinking, and communicating. This foundation, Caldecott shows, allows the pursuit of the True, Good, and Beautiful through education.
Father James V. Shall, SJ, writes, “In this insightful book, Stratford Caldecott has presented a way to understand education that includes philosophy, theology, the arts, literature, the studies of beauty and truth and what is good. It is a rare book that understands the unity of knowledge; this is one of those rare books.”
