Great article! --Seb

Yes, very interesting article, a subject close to my heart.

Do you know who coined "educational perennialism"?

Perennialists believe that one should teach the things of everlasting importance to all people everywhere. ... Therefore, one should teach principles, not facts.

The above strikes me as a pretty obvious nonsequitur. (There are plenty of facts that everybody should know.) Is that actually what real perennialists say?

[edit] Aquinas' De Magistro

Note that the link to the De Magistro of Aquinas is broken. I will try to find a good link.

[edit] De Magistro

The De Magistro of Aquinas is the same as Quaestio 11 of De veritate, which is found in the Quaestiones disputatae. Here is a link to the complete Latin text, which should probably be included in this article in place of the current broken link:

I am still looking for an online English translation of this quaestio. The following link provides the Latin and an English translation of article one only:

[edit] Lost Information in this Article

On November 21, due to an edit by 68.222.17.16, a significant amount of information was lost from this article: most of the Religious Perennialism section, and the entire list of Colleges Exemplifying This Philosophy. I cannot tell whether this was vandalism or an inadvertent deletion. Unless anyone objects, I will restore the previous content soon. TheDean 16:51, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

  • I don't see any reason to wait in reverting a large deletion with no edit comment and no discussion here. I've restored it. Dpbsmith (talk) 17:12, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
