Ask Andrew: What is an "ideal type" and does it necessarily lead to moralizing?

Welcome to Ask Andrew, a weekly podcast where Andrew Kern (President of the CiRCE Institute and co-author of the book, Classical Education: The Movement Sweeping America) contemplates important ideas, essential terms, and unavoidable themes in classical education–and what they mean for the day-to-day of teaching and learning. 

In this episode Andrew discusses the concept of the "ideal type," it's role in teaching/reading, and whether it leads to moralizing.
