Synopsis

""Three Lectures On Liberal Education"" is a book written by John Snelling Popkin in 1836. It is a collection of three lectures that Popkin delivered at Harvard University, where he was a professor of Greek and Latin. The lectures focus on the importance of a liberal education, which is an education that emphasizes the development of critical thinking and a broad understanding of the world.In the first lecture, Popkin discusses the history of liberal education, tracing its roots back to ancient Greece and Rome. He argues that a liberal education is essential for developing a well-rounded individual who can contribute to society in meaningful ways.The second lecture focuses on the benefits of a liberal education, including the ability to think critically, communicate effectively, and appreciate the arts and sciences. Popkin argues that a liberal education is not just about acquiring knowledge, but also about developing a love of learning that lasts a lifetime.In the third lecture, Popkin addresses the challenges facing liberal education in the modern world. He acknowledges that there are many competing demands on students' time and attention, but argues that a liberal education is more important than ever in a rapidly changing world.Overall, ""Three Lectures On Liberal Education"" is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the value of a liberal education. It is a must-read for anyone interested in education, philosophy, or the humanities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
