Reviews"In Norms and Nobility: A Treatise on Education, David V. Hicks presents a compelling case for education that goes beyond utilitarian purposes, exploring the ancient (and noble) idea that a classical education aims to foster the intellectual and moral growth of students, preparing them to contribute meaningfully to society and engage in a lifelong pursuit of truth, wisdom, and virtue. Norms and Nobility delves into the philosophical underpinnings of education, drawing from classical Western thought and the educational practices of ancient civilizations. Readers interested in American classical education will find this exploration resonant, as classical education seeks to revive and adapt these timeless principles for contemporary contexts." --Michael Rose, Headmaster at Cincinnati Classical Academy, In Norms and Nobility: A Treatise on Education, David V.
