True liberal education...

True liberal education requires that the student's whole life can be changed by it, that what [s/]he learns may affect his actions, his tastes, his choices, that no previous attachment be immune to examination and hence re-evaluation. Liberal education puts everything at risk and requires students who are able to risk everything. Otherwise it can only touch what is uncommitted in the already essentially committed.
