Liberal Education, once the central and defining feature of
American Higher Education, has been displaced by technical training
and career-oriented majors. But it has also suffered from the
decline in genuine liberal learning found in humanities
disciplines, owing to specialization, politicization, and the
adoption of new literary and psychological theories. The social
sciences, too, have arguably abandoned the kind of relentless and
sometimes disturbing questioning that used to constitute the core
of education. In this compelling volume, thirteen college educators
describe in sparkling prose what liberal education is, its place in
a liberal democracy, the very serious challenges it faces in the
21st century-even from some of its alleged friends-and why it is
important to sustain and expand liberal education's place in
American colleges and universities. Proponents and critics of
liberal education alike will benefit from these insightful essays.
This book was originally published as a special issue of
Perspectives on Political Science.
