The Trivium- The Liberal Arts of Logic, Grammar, and Rhetoric

The Trivium

The Liberal Arts of Logic, Grammar, and Rhetoric:

The Trivium guides the reader through a clarifying and rigorous account of logic, grammar, and rhetoric. A thorough presentation of general grammar, propositions, syllogisms, enthymemes, fallacies, poetics, figurative language, and metrical discourse-accompanied by lucid graphics and enlivened by examples from Shakespeare, Milton, Plato, and others-makes The Trivium a perfect book for teachers, writers, lawyers, and all serious users of language.

• Review:: 'Not quite as useful as hoped This book, as indicated by the author, is a compendium of outlines of classes taught half-a-century ago. While the information is of value and worth a read, the changes in the use of language and rough structure are stumbling blocks to grasping its full meaning. I would not recommend this as a primary source or first book on grammar, logic, and rhetoric.
• Review:: 'Perfect amount of information for weighty subject I must applaud the late Sister Joseph along with editor [McGlinn]Create? for making available this fantastic book on the three fundamental discipline of Classical knowledge - grammar, logic and rhetoric, which were the central building block of scholarly education for the better part of two thousand years. The book is divided into four major sections: introductory material (first section), grammar (second), logic (third) and rhetoric (fourth). In the first section, Joseph defines the Trivium and frames it vis a vis the classification of "goods" (valuable, useful and pleasurable); then she goes on to explain the difference between liberal arts, fine arts or "servile" arts. All definitions are sound and solid, the examples are pertinent and the whole is crystal-clear in a way only a classically-educated person can be clear. The second section contemplates grammar, but not as we understand it in the commonsense meaning (e.g. how to properly conjugate the verb "to be"); rather, the Trivium deals with "general grammar," the way words are used to construct logical symbols to represent reality. This is why an ancient Greek discipline applies equally well to English (or any other language for that matter), since the way the human mind formulates words representing the "substance" and the "accidents" of things is rather universal across geography and time. In all, I think this second section is where Joseph shines the most, although she is also extremely enlightening on the remaining sections. The last two sections on logic and rhetoric are also treated in strictly Classical terms; we have subjects like the essence and construction of a syllogism, the main logical fallacies, and a compendium on rhetorical devices. Although Joseph places more emphasis on grammar and logic, I still think the section on rhetoric to be a strong and useful introduction to that discipline for anyone new to it. The book's pace is as good for the educated modern reader as it would have been for the original audience of first-year college students over a half-century ago. As one reviewer noted, it is amazing to think that so much knowledge was assumed of a college freshmen just a few decades ago. There are no overly-wordy sections. Everything is presented tersely and concisely, along with a solid definition, an explanation of the device's usage and a few examples mostly from the Classics. This makes Sister Joseph's text extremely comprehensible and easy to "diagram" which is something I recommend to any student new to these disciplines. I wholehartedly recommend this book to anyone interested in these timeless arts, which are central in the formation of Western thought. And having been created and consolidated by the likes of Aristotle, they are not exclusively Christian, although it is in great part thanks to early Christian thinkers that they were passed on intact and refined all the way to modern days.
• Review:: 'The Trivium: The Liberal Arts of Logic, Grammar, and Rhetoric Excellent book, definitely a great resource for anyone looking to expand their horizons with respect to critial thinking in logic, grammar, and rhetoric. This is a must read for those looking to add some depth to their knowledge base.
• Review:: 'Excellent Guide to Western Philosophy This is certainly a wonderful place to start if you want to begin to understand the concepts underlying Western philosophy. I wish I had read it before starting to study philosophy at Oxford nearly thirty years ago, because it elucidates a lot of concepts my instructors never bothered to explain. I have taught a course in introductory logic at a community college for the last two years using this as a text. Regretfully, I am dropping it this next term, because my students for the most part aren't at a reading level to be able to make the best use of it. In short, this is a wonderful book. Some of its concepts and examples are rather quaint, and here and there there are defects in the editing that make the work needlessly obscure. But overall it is superb.
• Review:: 'An Outstanding Resource - A Classic Text The Trivium, originally written by Sister Miriam Joseph and edited by Marguerite [McGlinn]Create?, is a classical approach to knowledge, focusing on the things the things "that pertain to the mind", instead of the aspects "that pertain to matter" (quadrivium); this book reintroduces the liberal arts in an academic tone, but one where the lay-reader, with a little work, will learn a great deal (in this case, a lay-reader is one who has not formally studied either logic, philosophy, or rhetoric, I'll assume most have had at least grammar). Many academics may actually have to brush up on terms or other rules as this books covers a lot of material, but it does so very well. The book starts out very solid, and it starts out, correctly so, with the nature and function of language. Blocks throughout the chapter are off-set with special examples so one can take a moment and associate the examples with the information just read. The section on general grammar is also good, but her chapters on logic and rules for argumentation are outstanding. The material can be used as a refresher or as an introduction. The art of writing and in particular, critical thinking has almost been lost in this country. Everywhere one turns, poorly reasoned positions are staked out by pundits and politicians, pastors and pagans. I hope this book can help reverse the trend.
