Why Modern Universities Are Failing: The Case for Verum, Bonum, Pulchrum

From Wisdom to Utility: How Universities Lost Their Purpose.
Modern universities are collapsing. I don’t think is all - ALL– to do with Money and Budget, and Cuts, but because they have forgotten, or abandoned, or persuaded to abandon, their soul: what true education is or is meant to be.
In this video, I make the case - not an original to be sure - that Higher Education has traded wisdom for utility, formation for training, tradition for fragmentation. To understand our crisis, we must recover the classical and Catholic foundations of education: Verum (Truth), Bonum (Goodness, or the Good, the Common Good), and Pulchrum (Beauty).
Drawing on Plato, Aristotle and some classical authors, we’ll explore why the true mission of a university is not job-training, but the formation of free, moral, intellectually alive human beings.
We’ll talk about:
• The “marketplace model” that has gutted the Humanities
• Why fragmented specialization destroys Meaning
• How the loss of tradition leaves young people rootless
• Why Authority, rightly understood, is essential
• Why Beauty is not a luxury but Nourishment for the soul
• How Truth, Goodness, and Beauty protect us from Tyranny
• Why real education is an act of love across generations

If we want to save education—and our civilization—we must restore these principles.

I read and interpret what deserves not to be forgotten. If that resonates—join in.
Some of what I share In this channel "Interpreting Tradition", are reflections on Literature, Politics, History, Philosophy. Sometimes I read old texts out loud, and sometimes I just speak into the camera. But behind every video is the same impulse: to preserve something. To interpret what’s been handed down — carefully, honestly, and with a sense of reverence.
Thanks for being here.
