The case for the humanities : pedagogy, polity, interdisciplinarity / Eric Touya de Marenne. by Touya de Marenne, Eric, author. Lanham, Maryland : Rowman & Littlefield, [2016] Description:  xi, 145 pages ; 24 cm Summary:  "Countering the perception that the humanities are unessential, this volume contends that their well-being has not only academic but also cultural, political, and existential ramifications. Our technologically-driven world possesses the means of its own destruction, while economic and financial policies undermine the very existence of our democracy. At the same time, the postmodern and post-human age fundamentally challenges our ability and legitimacy to conceive future ideals. It is within this context that the humanities provide essential paths through which the teaching and knowledge of other academic fields such as STEM and economics must be re-envisioned. In short, the humanities must be brought back to the center of academic life. The political and pedagogical implications of this interdisciplinary study thus entail a renewed critique to rethink the relation between higher education, society, and the world at large (politically, economically, scientifically, and technologically) and the importance of the humanities within it. At the heart of this reconsideration, the humanities' and humanity's fate and future become one"--Publisher's website.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Peosta Library Circulation Stacks 001.3071 Tou 2016 Checked In Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
