Abstract
This paper sets out to consider what is probably the most widely known of the writings of Paul Hirst, ‘Liberal Education and the Nature of Knowledge’. It examines the central concept of the ‘forms’ and goes on to explore the provenance of the ideas he develops in this paper, exposing diversity and some tension between these. At the end it offers some brief suggestions regarding the prospects for the idea of a liberal education today in the light of Hirst’s views.
