“Bob Pepperman Taylor provides a thoughtful commentary that is timely and provocative as American higher education faces reconsideration, including external pressures to explain and even justify its missions and offerings within the framework of American society, economics, and political systems of belief and action.” —John R. Thelin, author of A History of American Higher Education “At a time when liberal education has been subject to critique both from within and outside the academy, this book is a serious and careful defense of the merits of teaching and studying the liberal arts.” —Susan McWilliams Barndt, author of The American Road Trip and American Political Thought
