Education Is Classical Education - Ep.334 - Martin Cothran Interview

We welcome Martin Cothran from Memoria Press today. Mr. Cothran is a proponent of one of the best educational models that has built Western civilization. Education is classical education or it is not education. We discuss what classical education is, why it works, and how it teaches both the mind and the whole person in virtue. We also discuss books, a dangerous subject with Mr. Cothran - dangerous for bank accounts. It was a true pleasure to talk with a hero of classical education.
