How is that "humanitas" used to mean "refinement," "cultivation," and simply "education"--and even "kindness," "courtesy," and "compassion"? Can we restore the "humanities" to our curriculum once again?

The Trouble with Choosing a Great Book, by @CAPerrin
What books should be in the classical canon? It's complicated but worth careful thought....and not all of us answer the question the same way. How do you answer the question?
