Instead, this book describes the liberal arts as a central part of a larger and more robust paradigm of classical education that should consist of piety, gymnastic, music, liberal arts, philosophy, and theology. The Liberal Arts Tradition also recovers the means by which classical educators developed more than just intellectual virtue (by means of the 7 liberal arts) but holistically cultivated the mind, body, will, and affections. This is a must-read for educators who want to take a second big step toward recovering the tradition of classical education. Since the publication of the first edition of The Liberal Arts Tradition in 2014, this book has been read and circulated by thoughtful educators around the world who are interested in what great education once was and can be again. The book has been assigned in college classes, read by school faculties, and studied in homeschooling communities. It has been widely reviewed and recommended by many scholars, bloggers, and experts. Now the authors have thoroughly revised the text, expanding and deepening their presentation of the core elements of the liberal arts tradition, which include piety, music, gymnastic, liberal arts, philosophy, and theology. Particularly noteworthy in the revised edition of this important work is the new section on the cultivation and formation of virtue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d2a1b0f9f150a0001c0f8ec/1573971290730-8XCED171SX5QXZODKSTU/LAT-2.0.png For Further Reading - The Liberal Arts Tradition: A Philosophy of Christian Classical Education (Revised Edition) he Liberal Arts Tradition: A Philosophy of Christian Classical Education introduces readers to a paradigm for understanding a classical education that transcends the familiar 3-stage pattern of grammar, logic, and rhetoric.

Piety is learning to reverence and love God and our neighbors in our words and actions. It is a habit learned in day-to-day life at school: in the way we pray and sing, show respect for one another, correct and and encourage students, and direct all learning toward loving God and serving our neighbors. The goal of poetic knowledge is acquiring the disposition of a life-long learner, awakening wonder, directing the passions, and forming the imagination. You’ll see piety and poetic knowledge embodied in the imitative practices of the school day, in the prayers and songs, the fine and performing arts, the athletics and physical education. This early education, focused on tuning hearts and training bodies, sets the trajectory of learning throughout the curriculum. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d2a1b0f9f150a0001c0f8ec/1686339417604-V8KH74AT10WMEUJY3GW2/image-asset.gif Model of Education - Piety and Poetic Knowledge Piety and poetic knowledge describe education in the earliest years.
