Liberal Arts, Personification of Dialectics
Dialectic: a young woman standing in a decorated interior and touching her right index finger to her left middle finger in a counting gesture, at her feet is a toad seated on a stack of books, from the series 'The liberal arts' (Les arts liberaux). The liberal arts are those subjects or skills that in classical antiquity were considered essential for a free person to know in order to take an active part in civic life. Grammar, logic, and rhetoric were the core liberal arts (Trivium), while arithmetic, geometry, the theory of music, and astronomy (or astrology) also played a part in education (Quadrivium). In the Renaissance, humanists re-christened the old Trivium with a new and more ambitious name: Studia humanitatis, they downplayed logic as opposed to the traditional Latin grammar and rhetoric, and added to them history, Greek, and moral philosophy (ethics), with a new emphasis on poetry as well. Engraving by Gilles Rousselet, 1633-35.
