Sobre IBD

Essays on a Liberal Education has developed out of an interest in the concept of a liberal education, and a conviction that, in spite of the admirable virtues associated with this concept, it does not provide a satisfactory model for general education. We need a broader, more diverse educational system, and this conclusion is reached through an historical study of the way in which the theory of a liberal education has developed, and by analysis of the concepts of society and the individual, which loom so large in most discussions on educational aims. A retired history teacher, David Conduct now lives in Durham where he taught for over twenty years. His studies have taken him through the universities of Hull, London, Warwick and Leicester, and his main academic interest lies in the history of ideas. This is his fourth book. When not writing, he can be found busking in the streets of Durham.

  • Bacon and The Dissociation Of Sensibility
    David Conduct
    The term 'Dissociation of Sensibility' has its origin in an essay published by T. S. Eliot in 1921 on the Metaphysical Poets, in which he referred to a dramatic change in poetic experience taking place in the Seventeenth Century. He attributed this change to social and literary causes but, in fact, the true origin of this change lies in the development of scientific thought at ...

  • A Simpler Path Via Julian of Norwich and Marcus Aurelius
    David Conduct
    ’A Simpler Path’ springs from the belief that organised religion, particularly that of Christianity, has become over- complicated and burdened by theology and doctrine which actually hinder our spiritual growth. As a solution to this problem, two alternatives are offered. The first is to be found in the writings of the Fourteenth Century mystic, Dame Julian of Norwich; the seco...

The present work is an attempt to explore the varied sources of this theme as revealed in the writing of Dante, John Donne, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Stephen Hawking, Saint Paul, and Dame Julian of Norwich. My hope is that this may bring some comfort and consolation to believers and...

  • Kindness and the Individual
    David Conduct
    ’Life and Fate’ by Vasily Grossman is an epic story of Russia’s involvement in the Second World War and has been ranked alongside Tolstoy’s ’War and Peace’. At over 800 pages it is also a very long novel and the present work, ’Kindness and the Individual’, is an attempt to distil the essence of ’Life and Fate’ in the hope that this will encourage others to read Grossman’s grea...

  • The Holy Contour of Life ~A Spiritual Journey~
    David Conduct
    It was that holy traveller, Jack Kerouac, who first coined the phrase 'the holy contour of life' and I think that this provides a fitting title for these reflections. We don’t need a whole lot of knowledge or material possessions to lead a good and happy life. We are all of us on the same journey and all heading in the same direction. We need to recognise our fellow-travelle...
