This presentation will discuss the main issues addressed in the text "What is Liberal Education?", written in 1959 by political philosopher Leo Strauss, which explores liberal education and raises fundamental questions about its nature and purpose. In the first place, Strauss explores the concept of liberal education as a process aimed at cultivating intellectual freedom and critical thinking in individuals. He examines the importance of teaching students to question preconceived ideas and develop analytical and discernment skills. 

Furthermore, the author delves into the debate over the content of a liberal education. He interrogates what type of knowledge is valuable in itself and should therefore be included in a liberal curriculum, also inquiring about how cultural values and perspectives should be addressed in educational processes immersed in broader mass culture processes.

Lastly, the text also raises questions about the role of liberal education in society. Strauss examines how liberal education can contribute to the formation of engaged and responsible citizens. He also wonders if liberal education can provide a solid foundation for addressing the political and social challenges of our time, and how it can influence the development of leaders capable of facing these challenges with integrity and wisdom.
