Purpose: This sermon argues that artistry and understanding are the offspring of whole people: thoughtful, resolute, and passionate. It then considers some illiberal fashions in higher education that stifle passion. Design/methodology/approach: This is an opinion piece. Findings: Current threats to liberal education include metaphors demeaning to professors, incomprehensible or inconsequential learning objectives, and schemes that increase "intentionality" by limiting students' opportunities for exploration and discovery. Originality/value: This sermon makes vivid to educational leaders and would-be reformers some of the negative consequences of their actions and proposals. © Emerald Group Publishing Limited.
