In this course, Dr. David Seibel examines the high-voltage ideas of eight consequential figures who changed educational history. The course looks at both the flaws and the virtues of each figure’s thought from the perspective of a classical educator. This course is aimed primarily at teachers wanting to strengthen their classical foundation and leaders seeking to grasp the origins and development of classical education. Every teacher in the classical movement should be acquainted with the key ideas and methods of each of these monumental figures. This is the course for the person who really wants to know what the word ‘classical’ means. We will explore eight important principles from eight great educational thinkers: Homer’s moral imagination, Plato’s dialectic philosophy, St. Paul’s dogmatic theology, Erasmus’ emphasis on ancient languages, Milton’s vision of education, Pascal’s focus on math, science, and logic, Sayers’ innovation with the trivium, and Adler’s modern recovery of the Great Books for the masses.
