This volume examines whether virtue can be taught. In so doing, Marion Montgomery discusses the relation of virtue to the individual and describes ways in which modern thought has eroded our perception of virtue, as well as the impact this has on the family and education. Throughout the text are examples ranging from classical literature to football. The author holds that, although virtue may not be taught with any assurance that a student will thereby become virtuous, it is imperative that what has been said of virtue be formally learned, in the interest of the continuance of Western civilization and the student's opportunity to hoose. Here teacher and student are terms intended figuratively, as in the relation between parent and child or between citizen and citizen.

Marion Montgomery, poet, novelist, critic and philosopher, is one of the foremost interpreters of the spiritual crisis of modernity. He is well known for his inquiries into the sources of ideology and for his analysis of modern gnosticism. Co-published with the Intercollegiate Studies Institute.
