A New Vision Of Liberal Education: The Good Of The Unexamined Life, Daniel R. Denicola
A New Vision Of Liberal Education: The Good Of The Unexamined Life, Daniel R. Denicola
Philosophy Faculty Publications
Alistair Miller’s book, A New Vision of Liberal Education, is a dilation of his doctoral thesis, but it is enormously ambitious in aim: “My specific aim in this book is to explore whether aspects of the two traditions [of Enlightenment and Aristotelian ethics] might be synthesised in the concrete form of a liberal-humanist education” (NVLE, 11).

Using multiple studies, I give information and statistics on the outcomes of these athletes. I also provide limitations of the studies I use so …
