Medieval and Renaissance teachers valued their insights and lofty goals, and Christian educators such as Augustine, Erasmus, Milton, and Comenius drew from the teaching of Plato, Aristotle, and Quintilian truths they found universal and potent. In \u003cem\u003eConsider This: Charlotte Mason and the Classical Tradition\u003c\/em\u003e, Karen Glass demonstrates how Charlotte Mason purposefully developed her own philosophy of education directly from the riches of this past. Mason and the other founding members of the Parents' National Educational Union in England were profoundly inspired by the classical educators of history, setting out to achieve their vision within modern education.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eThey succeeded in this endeavor. Thanks to Mason's clear development of practical methods to realize these classical ideals, educators today can actively partake in the classical tradition. \u003cem\u003eConsider This\u003c\/em\u003e argues that classical education is an education of the heart and conscience as much as it is an education of the mind. By exploring the classical emphasis on the formation of character, Glass bridges the gap between Charlotte Mason's methodology and the enduring insights of historical thinkers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eUltimately, this is not a traditional \"how-to\" book about educational mechanics, but rather a profound \"why-to\" book.
