Curious what a liberal arts education really is? What trivium and quadrivium mean? In this episode of Classical Et Cetera, we unpack the historic meaning of the liberal arts and explain how they shaped true classical education for centuries.

Whether you’ve always wanted it explained, or you’re trying to understand the difference between today’s “classical schools” and original liberal arts, this conversation will help you rediscover an education that’s truly more than a degree. https://www.memoriapress.com/articles/what-are-the-liberal-arts/?utm_source=PodBean&utm_medium=CETC&utm_campaign=181 *What We're Reading* from This Episode: _The Father's Tale_—Michael O'Brien (Tanya) _Why Choose the Liberal Arts_—Mark William Roche (Paul) _The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling_—Henry Fielding (Martin)…
