A Student’s Guide to Liberal Learning, by James V. Schall

A Student’s Guide to Liberal Learning, by James V. Schall, S.J., ISI Books, 2000.

This study guide is an inviting conversation with a learned scholar about the content of an authentic liberal arts education. It surveys ideas and books central to the tradition of humanistic education that has fundamentally shaped our country and our civilization. This accessible volume argues for an order and integration of knowledge in order that meaning might be restored to the haphazard approach to study currently dominating higher education. Freshly conveying the excitement of learning from the acknowledged masters of intellectual life, this study guide is also an excellent blueprint for building one’s own library of books that matter.

James V. Schall, S.J., is professor in the Department of Government at Georgetown University. He is the author of numerous books, including Another Sort of Learning; At the Limits of Political Philosophy; Reason, Revelation, and the Foundations of Political Philosophy; Idylls and Rambles; and Schall on Chesterton: Timely Essays on Timeless Paradoxes.
