Teaching Truth-and Goodness and Beauty by Lindsey Brigham

Teaching Truth-and Goodness and Beauty by Lindsey Brigham

But to teach truth alone is to usher students into a world of firm foundations, pure proportion, and stately symmetry with no color or sound or scent—the world of the fable above. This world lacks all that makes the truth homey and habitable, lovely and lovable; little wonder that students tire of it, poke fun at it, seek to move out of it. It cannot be home for their souls, for it lacks goodness and beauty.

We cannot leave beauty out of our teaching. It is essential to fully forming human beings.
