### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A must for classical home educators!
  

*by A***L on Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2020*

I love this book!! As a homeschool mom, I’ve often sought out information on how to best educate my children. The idea of teaching classically has been one I’ve tried to understand better over the years. Many have written on this, but what I enjoy most about The Great Tradition is the ability to read original source texts by the great thinkers of the past. It takes time to read and digest the information in this book. I recommend reading it with a pencil in hand to underline and take notes in the margins. Little by little, I’m beginning to understand what it means to be an educated human being.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A gem
  

*by W***M on Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2018*

Outstanding collection of excepts and essays of about 3-10 pages ranging from Plato to Eric Vogelin and Michael Oakeshott. Each entry has an introduction to the author and work.  There many of the authors you would expect to find - Aristotle, Burke, Aquinas - but also interesting excerps from Sertillanges, Vetruvius, and the Ratio Studiorum. Over 600 pages. Anyone interested in liberal learning and the Great Books should have this in  his library.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good for the beginning thinker
  

*by D***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2013*

I highly recommend this compilation for anyone getting started in liberal arts education, formally or informally.  Note that if you have read much classic philosophy/theology there will be some overlap.  A great anthology to loan once done as it can really expand the conversations between you and your acquaintances.
