What is liberal about a liberal arts education? And what is its value, especially in an era when artificial intelligence is omnipresent? If a liberal education is one that befits a free person and citizen–as the Western tradition contends–what sort of study could possibly accomplish this? What is the role of philosophy and theology in such study?
Drawing on the thought of Aristotle, Aquinas, and Newman, Dr. Frey addresses why the pursuit of virtue and wisdom through the traditional liberal arts is essential as we enter an uncertain future where AI threatens to displace human thinking, labor, creativity, and connection.
