2004Stefan Lorenz Sorgner. Two concepts of “liberal education”. ethic@ - An international Journal for Moral Philosophy, v. 3, n. 2, p. 107-119, 2004.1
In this article I attempt to find out the appropriate understanding of “liberal education”. Firstly, I distinguish the two most important meanings of the notion “freedom” which I call momentary and lifelong freedom. Momentary freedom is a type of negative freedom, and lifelong freedom a type of positive freedom. Secondly, I show the consequences, which these two meanings of “freedom” have on the practice of a “liberal education”. Finally, I analyse which type of liberal education is the best.
