Reviews
Essential reading for faculty in these and other disciplines and students deciding on a course of study. It should also be read by policymakers and parents and anyone in need of a crash course on the value of the humanities and liberal arts education. -- Steven J. Michels, Sacred Heart University In a world of increasing complexity and danger, the need for the humanities has never been greater, and yet liberal arts education is in rapid decline everywhere. This excellent collection of essays is an important contribution to this pressing issue. Instead of regurgitating platitudes about the inherent value of the humanities-that they make students more well-rounded, better communicators, and critical thinkers-the authors attempt to defend the humanities by considering new approaches and formulating ground-breaking arguments. This volume is essential reading for anyone concerned about the future of liberal arts education, and looking for fresh ways to articulate the necessity and worth of the humanities. -- Paul Corey, Humber College
