Issue No. 17 | Education
In this issue of Evangelization & Culture, we explore the riches to be found in education. Dr. D.C. Schindler examines how an education in philosophy is “useless” and, as such, indispensable. Mark Bradford considers how far education of the intellectually and developmentally disabled has come (and how far it has yet to go). Dr. Christopher Kaczor examines how illogical, self-defeating statements interfere with our ability to apprehend truth. Dr. Julia D. Hejduk champions the classics in educating the Catholic sensibility. Marcie Stokman challenges mothers and others finished with their formal education to be “forever learners.” And, in our special feature, President Stephen Minnis of Benedictine College unfolds what the “idea of a Catholic university” looks like in today’s secular age.
