What does it truly mean to be educated? In The Meaning of a Liberal Education, Everett Dean Martin explores the deeper purpose of education beyond mere job training. He argues that true learning is about developing intellectual independence, critical thinking, and a broad understanding of human culture and society.

Martin challenges the idea that education should be purely practical, emphasizing instead the lifelong value of curiosity, wisdom, and engagement with ideas. Drawing from history, philosophy, and the experiences of great thinkers, this book is both an argument for and a guide to a richer, more meaningful approach to learning.

Essential reading for students, educators, and anyone seeking a deeper perspective on the role of education in shaping individuals and society.
