    Alvin John Salvador
    Perennialism is a philosophical belief that ideas of truth, reality, knowledge and values are unchanging over time. It advocates focusing education on classic literature and important historical details that convey universal and timeless truths about human nature. Prominent perennialist educators like Robert Hutchins, Mortimer Adler, and Jacques Maritain emphasized developing students' intellectual power and rational thinking through studying the great books of Western civilization. Perennialism views the teacher as the central authority and promotes a standardized curriculum focused on mastering universal concepts rather than changing information.
