Ep. 26 – Logic and Latin in Classical Christian Education
This is Episode 26 of the Consortium Podcast, an academic audio blog of Kepler Education.
In this episode, Scott Postma and Joffre Swait discuss the importance of Logic and Latin in Classical Christian Education.
Stratford Caldecott asked the important question, “What kind of education would enable a child to progress in the rational understanding of the world without losing his poetic and artistic appreciation of it?”
The short answer is only a truly liberal arts education can enable a child to gain a rational understanding of the world while still maintaining, and even enhancing, his poetic and artistic appreciation of it.
Two of the foundational aspects of this kind of education are Logic, the clear-sighted arguments which separate the true from the false, and Latin, the language of antiquity and Christendom by which a student learning the language is able enter into the texts which shaped the western world while also cultivating his poetic and artistic appreciation of the world.
