Edmund Opitz' talk, The Liberating Arts, I outline for the audience a few essential skills that are required in order to obtain the most from a Trivium-based education. As the Trivium deals with the substance and structure of thought and language, it can be said to be a universal education, relevant to all human beings regardless of time and place. This is a way to increase your intelligence. Part 1 covers the introductory information on the Trivium Subjects and Method, while Part 2 covers the Trivium Skills.
