About this episode
What is rhetoric at its core? Why is it important for modern students? Who do we base our standards of rhetoric off of? In this episode, "What is Rhetoric?", Shane Saxon and Mitchell Holley explain the significance of rhetoric in the liberal arts.
Join us as we discover the true meaning and importance of the seven liberal arts. To many, the liberal arts are foreign concepts. To those versed in the classics and classical education, the liberal arts are common knowledge. However, both new and veteran must have a nuanced understanding of the liberal arts.
Discovering the Seven Liberal Arts aims to uncover the true meaning and place of the Trivium and the Quadrivium. In this six part series, "Discovering the Seven Liberal Arts," we define the terms, explain the means, and highlight the impacts of the seven liberal arts.
