My Quick Thoughts on Seneca's Essay about Liberal Arts

Seneca discussed how the studies of liberal arts prepares the mind for higher learning, but does not instill in the student morals and virtue. He was arguing for Liberal arts, yet he criticized it for over half of his essay, which was confusing to me. He wrote about how he didn't care for subjects such as geometry, astrology, or music because they don't help one succeed in life or overcome trials. Overall, I admire him for being so adamant about the pursuit of wisdon and a useful education because I think it is a noble subject to be passionate about.
