The Virtues of a Liberal Education

What is liberal about a liberal arts education? And what is its value, especially in an era when artificial intelligence is omnipresent? If it is an education that befits a free person and citizen, as Western tradition contends, what sort of study can achieve this? What is the role of religion and theology in such study? 

As we enter an uncertain future where artificial intelligence threatens to displace human thinking, labor, creativity and connection, professor of philosophy Jennifer Frey will address why the pursuit of virtue and wisdom through the traditional liberal arts is essential.
