 When we usually think about classical education we think about books like The Iliad, The Odyssey, Plato’s Republic, Paradise Lost, Tale of Two Cities, etc. These are books that are influential to nearly all political, informational (media), institutional (universities and commerce), and familial settings in America and Europe. These ideas were fundamental in the creation of Democracies, Republics, and Human Rights. Today's podcast won't get into these particulars but rather into the need of Western citizens to be familiar with these books and their fundamental ideas. They are the backbone of nearly all colloquial mores that used on a daily basis. Therefore, we need to understand not only where these ideas come from but to read the original sources for ourselves so that we can understand our past, see correctly in the present, and aim correctly in the future.

At Veritas, we are dedicated to making sure that each and every student has frequency and proximity with the Great Books that helped shape the Western World. They will be daily engaging with amazing and influential literature with instructors who will help them navigate the linguistic and historical complexities. So, they won't be overwhelmed with the lanugage that they might miss the beauty and truth tucked within their pages.
