| Summary: | Liberal education may be highly valued for its humanizing effect, its social value, and its place as a school for wisdom. Each of these reasons for prizing liberal education are discussed in light of distinctions between education as a task and education as an achievement, epistemically slight thought and epistemically robust thought, inherent value and instrumental value as types of extrinsic value, and the historical notion and commencement speaker's notion of liberal education. Consideration is given to the roles of the arts and sciences in liberal education and the limits of philosophy in a school for wisdom. |
