Liz Coleman’s call to reinvent liberal arts education | Video on TED.com

This is pretty interesting stuff. I disagreed with much of what was said here, but, though I have the sneaking susupician that if she got more specific, I would disagree even more, there is much- very much- to be admired and to be inspired by in this talk. I share her dream of a real liberal arts education being given in an environment that puts emphasis on free action as a noble end and not just some idealistic life of leisured contemplation that rarely exists and even rarer is the man that is fit for it.
