About this listen

Classical Academic Press proudly presents the audiobook version of the reissued 2024 edition of Norms and Nobility: A Treatise on Education (published by Rowman & Littlefield), thoughtfully read by Dr. Christopher Perrin. This classic text, written by renowned author David Hicks, is a provocative reappraisal of classical education that offers a workable program for contemporary school reform.

David Hicks contends that the classical tradition promotes a spirit of inquiry that is concerned with the development of style and conscience, which makes it an effective and meaningful form of education.

Dismissing notions that classical education is elitist and irrelevant, Hicks argues that the classical tradition can meet the needs of our increasingly technological society, as well as serve as a feasible model for mass education.
