Introduction: Education
The Summer 2025 issue of Communio is dedicated to “Education.” Many of its essays are the maturation of insights first presented at a conference at the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family at The Catholic University of America during the fall of 2024, with the theme, “The Rediscovery of Reality: Education and the Catholic Imagination.” Prominent among the many questions considered by our authors are the importance of the “transcendent horizon” within which genuine education must take place, the relationship between the teacher and the student, the self-disclosure of being to the intellect through tangible and incarnate realities, and the maturation toward truth and freedom that education facilitates.
