Daniel G. Mulcahy is a professor in the School of Education and Professional Studies at Central Connecticut State University and former professor of education at University College, Cork, Ireland.

What does it mean to be an educated person in the 21st century? Is the idea of liberal education relevant in today's world? For anyone who takes these questions to heart, The Educated Person is a book to read once, twice, and then again. Mulcahy's survey of the educational thought of the 19th and 20th centuries is breathtaking, his close readings of three historical theories of liberal education that have never before been juxtaposed are unparalleled, and the new paradigm of liberal education he proposes will be a focus of scholarly attention for years to come.
