Inside the Liberal Arts - Critical Thinking and Citizenship (Paperback)

The Logic of the Liberal Arts accomplishes two ambitious goals at once, and shows why they are inseparable: It explains the nature and purpose of liberal learning - to produce critical thinkers and well-rounded democratic citizens - and offers a probing, accessible guided tour of critical thinking, emphasizing the analytic skills that form the intellectual core of all higher education. Becoming better critical thinkers doesn't mean we have to become philosophers. As users of language, Scheuer explains, we're already philosophers. Advanced critical thinking simply makes us better philosophers - and better learners and citizens. In lucid and often witty prose, Scheuer guides us through the moral and conceptual heart of the liberal education ideal. In an era when colleges and universities are struggling to convey the value of that ideal to students and parents, The Logic of the Liberal Arts will be a lasting aid to intellectual excellence, and a benchmark for understanding what it means to be an educated citizen.
