A Contemplation of Prudence – 2024 National Conference

A Contemplation of Prudence is the 2024 CiRCE National Conference.

The fragmented and immature condition of our age is a cliche, a living one that plays itself out in our apparent inability to deliberate together and our evident unwillingness to exercise self-control.

One gets the impression that, whatever else we are doing, we are not educating our children well.

Classical education cuts to the heart of the matter. Because it always took the education of “the whole child” for granted, it has always taken seriously both public and private decision-making. It offers those who are willing to listen a long tradition with practices, models, and principles for the cultivation of prudence.
