The papers collected here were delivered during an often-heated conference at the university in 1966, and include contributions from such scholars as Northrop Frye, Richard McKeon, and, of course, the dean of the college, Wayne Booth himself. Taken as a whole, they present a passionate defense of liberal education, one that remains highly relevant today.EducationEducation, Humanisticeducation, university of chicago, humanities, academia, wayne booth, richard mckeon, northrop frye, liberal arts, great books, canon formation, aesthetics, plato, gender, feminism, equality, social justice, equity, opportunity, diversity, undergraduates, graduate school, science, critical thinking, knowledge, nonfiction, conference.Education.Education, Humanistic.370.11370.8370/.8Booth Wayne C200520University of Chicago.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782536303321The knowledge most worth having3800390UNINA
