Episode 4 - How to “Teach” Virtue
Lux et Veritas: A Light and Truth Podcast by the Classical School of Dallas
Katie Lockett and Colin McGee, Director of Upper School, take on an ancient question: what is virtue, and can it be taught? Colin traces the idea from Plato’s “virtue is knowledge” to Aristotle’s split between intellectual and moral virtue. He contrasts the classical movement’s two camps: one aiming at an elite class, the other aiming at piety and love of God and neighbor. They explore John Frame’s three lenses for judging right and wrong. Then they turn to how moral virtue actually forms, through modeling, habit and stories, and why only the Holy Spirit can finish the work.
