Recorded at the 2026 Great Hearts National Symposium (Feb. 25, 2026), I share my keynote on the history, meaning, and renewal of classical education—asking what, exactly, we’re trying to recover. Tracing the liberal arts from Greece and Rome through Christendom into early America, I reflect on modern fragmentation and call educators to humble, lifelong learning that forms wisdom, virtue, and love. Special thanks to the Great Hearts Institute.
