Founders of "Liberal Education": The Case for Roman Orators against Socratic Philosophers.
Kimball, Bruce A.
Teachers College Record, v85 n2 p225-49 Win 1983
The author argues that the graduate of the "artes liberales" (liberal arts) is the Roman orator, trained to defend persuasively the right and just, and not the person devoted to the Socratically-based introspective search for truth, as many contemporary academicians would maintain. (JMK)
