Jeremy Wayne Tate on Reviving Classical Education (Episode 80‪)‬ Stoa Conversations: Stoicism Applied

Want to become more Stoic? Join us and other Stoics this October: Stoicism Applied by Caleb Ontiveros and Michael Tremblay on Maven [http://stoameditation.com/course]

"If a text is not offensive to anyone, it probably isn't very important."

In this conversation, Caleb speaks with Jeremy Wayne Tate, the Co-founder and President of the Classic Learning Test [https://www.cltexam.com/].

The Classic Learning Test is bringing back a focus on educating the whole human person by focusing on the great works and fundamental philosophical questions about how to live.

If you check out the CLT author bank [https://www.cltexam.com/tests/authors/] you'll find several Stoic names – which we at Stoa love to see.

This conversation focuses on the purpose of education, testing, and how to approach the classics today – all with someone who is in the arena shaping how education is done today.
