The best definition I found on “Being Educated” was from the “Living Issues In Philosophy” book by Harold H. Titus and Marilyn S. Smith. The below is a resume of what can be found on page 220-222.
“Mere possession of a diploma - or any other symbol for that matter - is no proof of education.
- To be educated means to know at least one field with some thoroughness…
- To be educated means to be able to communicate with others…
- To be educated means to be able to live in a changing word and to entertain new ideas…
- To be educated means to be able to get along with others…
- To be well-educated means to be able to entertain oneself, to develop a rich inner life and a wide range of appreciations and inner controls…
- To be educated is to be sensitive to the larger spiritual order of which man is part…”
