"Why I Teach Plato to Plumbers"

“Why I Teach Plato to Plumbers” explains the meaning of a liberal arts education. It is not to make yourself as wealthy as possible, for you would be missing the point of an education “worthy of free men.” It is considered greatly beneficial to have an education that helps expand your mind and create a new idea of learning within yourself. These arts are not considered inclusive to those who are considered to be in intellectual fields, but is also important to blue collar workers and other laborers as it gives them the ability to think for themselves and fulfill the meaning of the liberal arts.
