Norms And Nobility by David V. Hicks
A Treatise on Education
A defense of classical education and moral formation that argues schools should aim to cultivate character and practical wisdom through habituation, ritual, exemplary teachers, and engagement with enduring texts rather than reduce learning to instrumental skills or neutral technique. It critiques modern relativism and bureaucratic schooling, stressing that norms, virtues, and a shared moral grammar are necessary for individual excellence and civic flourishing, and it offers concrete practices—stories, rites, disciplined habits, and institutional commitments—to form the dispositions needed for responsible leadership and communal life.
