My last posting dealt with the obvious lack of congruity between intelligence and character. Chuck Colson, who wrote one of my favorite books,
How Now Shall We Live?, wrote an
interesting little piece on intelligence and character as the goal of education.
Virtue has always been the goal of a classical education. But Colson brings up a good point: where are those goals in most schools and universities today? Perhaps the better question is, What is your plan as an educator to teach knowledge
and ethics?
