Ep. 5 – Cosmology and Truth in Education
This is Episode 5 of the Consortium Podcast, an academic audio blog of Kepler Education.
In his fabulous work on recovering Classical Education, Norms and Nobility, David Hicks writes, “Education at every level reflects our primary assumptions about the nature of man and for this reason no education is innocent of an attitude toward man and his purposes.”
In this episode Scott and Joffre take Hicks thesis from an anthropological discussion to a cosmological discussion by arguing, “Education at every level reflects our primary assumptions about the nature of the universe and for this reason no education is innocent of an attitude toward the nature of the universe and its purposes.”
If education is the transference of the collective knowledge of the universe from one generation to the next, modern education not only falls far from this goal, it has changed the goal posts. Classical Christian education seeks to recover the truth about the nature of the cosmos and what that means for mankind in every generation.
