First Principles

In a fascinating podcast on home schooling, John Granger makes an important point about first principles in education. Namely, that education follows the questions of what is man and what is his purpose.  In that light I am reading the following:

The Person in the Orthodox Tradition by Metropolitan Hierotheos
- Person and Eros by Yannaras
- The Abolition of Man by C.S. Lewis

Also, be sure to check out this year's Circe conference.
