Below, you will find an optional topic, a thought provoking quote (or two) and several ideas for those who need a little writing prompt or who would like some direction for further study. :)
I look forward to reading and sharing!
The optional topic for discussion during the month of February is:
Some Unconsidered Aspects of Intellectual Training - Chapter 11
“The intellectual life, like every manner of spiritual life, has but one food whereby it lives and grows––the sustenance of living ideas.”
Key Points to delve into further.
- Limits of Human Reasoning
- Great ideas → best basis of Educational Philosophy
- Intellectual Habits → Come of training, are not in-born. Therefore the development thereof rests primarily w/ parents.
Some Intellectual Habits:
(see chapter for further explanation)
Attention.
Concentration.
Thoroughness.
Intellectual Volition.
Accuracy.
Reflection.
Meditation.
