An education is truly "fitted for freedom" only if it is such as to produce free citiens, citizen who are free not because of wealth or birth, they can call their minds their own. Male or female, they have looked nto themselves and developed the ability to separate habit and convention from what they can defend by arhument. Theyhave ownership of their own thought and speech, and this imparts to them a dignity that is far beyond the outer dignity of class and rank. - Martha Nussbaum, Cultivating Humanity. In e-Portfolios for Lifelong Learning, 2010.
