In an age obsessed with screens, speed, and skills, The Subversive Art of a Classical Education delivers a bold, timely manifesto for reclaiming education as a deeply human pursuit. Veteran educator and bestselling author Michael S. Rose makes the compelling case that classical education is not just an academic alternative--but a revolutionary act of cultural defiance.

Drawing on over two decades of experience, Rose reveals how traditional practices--grammar, logic, rhetoric, memorization, handwriting, slow reading, and the liberal arts--foster attention, discernment, and wisdom in a distracted world. Each chapter explores how these time-honored disciplines develop intellectual and moral virtues now endangered by modern education's utilitarian and technological focus.

The Subversive Art of a Classical Education calls on parents, teachers, and thinkers to reject the reduction of students into data points and rediscover the transformative power of real learning. This a book is a rallying cry for those ready to resist the flattening forces of modernity and form souls capable of freedom, depth, and meaning.
