Thoughts on the different purposes of education out there...


From the American Heritage Seminar I went to last summer (highly recommend it!)

"We must reverse the modern educational concept from “to educate is to liberate us to act on our desires” to “educate us so our passions can be regulated” (See article “Some Thoughts about Personal Freedom”)
Princeton: "personal authenticity=self-mastery"
"Education is to free us from slavery to our passions"
