Literature

"The object of education is to teach us to love what is beautiful"

- Plato, The Republic

Literature is a gateway to the soul, an avenue to enrich our minds and hearts with the encounter of characters and their life stories. They show us how to live amongst the vicissitudes of life, within the drama of good and evil, and aid us in our path to salvation. Literature is one way we are exposed to beauty, to be touched by it, challenged by it to live according to its dictates. As such, literature is instrumental for shaping our moral knowledge of reality.
