Here's a link to an essay about discernment as first philosophy. It may be of interest not only to you but also to anyone concerned about the parlous state of liberal arts.

'Discernment as First Philosophy: Intellectual Conversion and the Catholic Liberal Arts'
by Roberto J. De La Noval
(Website link below.)
('Discernment as First Philosophy' is the third in series of essays by Dr De La Noval, following:
'Teaching for Intellectual Conversion: Introductory Theology at the Level of Our Times' and
'Relativism as Lebensgefühl: Untying the Knot Through Intellectual Conversion'.
iirc this is actually Part 8. But not complaining! I expect this will become a book at some point?
Oops. Corrected with thanks, Fr.
Thanks, Fr Thomas, for your thoughtful essays.

I reckon that all three are worth reading.)
