Abstract

The goal of this paper has been to address the need for better answers to the question of what it means to be educated. Seeking answers to this question brings us back to the question, What should education accomplish Consistent with the proposed objective of developing critical thinking as the best preparation for life, I propose two components as central to the definition of an educated person. One has to do with inquiry skills and the other with argument.
