Paper Back. Condition: New. ''Renaissance Man.'' A term we've come to identify with those able, insatiable, diversified individuals who find all things interesting, all disciplines compelling, eyes and ears, hands and hearts open to all the world can offer. Hugh of St. Victor (1096?-1141) is the prototype, the true twelfth-century Renaissance Man, albeit one who sought to lend coherence to insatiability and diversification. This is his book, his instruction manual to learning and to what matters for us to learn. The means are clear: ''The things by which every man advances in knowledge are principally two -- namely, reading and meditation. Of these, reading holds first place in instruction, and it is of reading that this book treats. first, each should know what he ought to read; second, in what order he ought to read; and third, in what manner he ought to read.'' Then, beginning with ''Concerning the Origin of the Arts'' through six books arriving at the multiple senses for the understanding of Sacred Scripture, Hugh walks us through the broad spectrum of sacred and secular texts that ought to be imbibed and lived, and just how this ought to be done, advancing a thoroughly Christian vision of knowledge against secularist inroads being felt even in the twelfth century. Remarkable. Caroline Walker Bynum has said of it: ''this treatise offers a vision of human knowledge as an integrated whole that works to perfect the human person. It is a crucial text for those interested in the study of the Bible in the Middle Ages, in the history of schools and pedagogy, and in the survival of the classical tradition in the West.''.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the nature and purpose of education, offering a compelling argument for a comprehensive and integrated approach to knowledge. Drawing on a rich tradition of philosophical and theological thought, the author presents a framework for understanding the various branches of learning and their interconnectedness. The book explores the historical and intellectual context of educational theory, tracing its roots back to ancient Greek thinkers and examining the contributions of influential figures such as Augustine and Boethius. It argues that true education encompasses not only the acquisition of knowledge but also the cultivation of virtue and the pursuit of wisdom. Through a detailed analysis of the arts and sciences, the author demonstrates how each discipline contributes to the overall goal of human perfection and divine destiny. The book emphasizes the importance of logic, mathematics, physics, and ethics, as well as the need for a solid foundation in Scripture and the liberal arts. Ultimately, this book offers profound insights into the transformative power of education. It shows how the pursuit of knowledge, guided by wisdom and virtue, can lead to a deeper understanding of ourselves, the world around us, and our place in the divine order.
