The optional topic for discussion during the month of February is:
Some Unconsidered Aspects of Intellectual Training - Chapter 11

The intellectual life, like every manner of spiritual life, has but one food whereby it lives and grows––the sustenance of living ideas.” 


Key Points to delve into further.
  • Limits of Human Reasoning
  • Great ideas → best basis of Educational Philosophy
  • Intellectual Habits → Come of training, are not in-born. Therefore the development thereof rests primarily w/ parents.

Some Intellectual Habits:

Attention.

Meditation.
