Show Notes
This engaging conversation gives voice to the nature of verbal arts. As written in his book, The Lost Seeds of Learning: Grammar, Logic, Rhetoric as Life-Giving Arts, Dr. Phillip Donnelly offers the image of a living seed to represent purposeful communication. From this episode, you will gain a vision for skills learned in the classroom that are alive, not detached, with a new sense of enthusiasm for the art of grammar. Some points of discussion include:
- Why is the trivium so important?
- What is the core function of the trivium?
- Why a seed metaphor?
- What is grammar in the trivium?
