Synopsis

“Liberal education should be teaching students to ask tough questions of the books they are reading, to ask tough questions of one another, to see things from a multiplicity of points of view...[this] makes us more civil, more tolerant, endows us with greater empathy—all qualities, it seems to me, we want to encourage in liberal and democratic citizens." Zach and Will sat down with Peter Berkowitz to talk about reforming the college academic curriculum, the importance of the classics to liberal education, and why Claremont McKenna is doing a good job promoting viewpoint diversity.
