Engaging with the debate launched by Allan Bloom, Harold Bloom, Bill Readings, John Guillory, and others, Kurt Spellmeyer argues that higher education needs to abandon the "culture wars" if it hopes to address the major crises of the century: globalization, the degradation of the environment, the widening chasm between rich and poor, and the clash of cultures.HumanitiesStudy and teaching (Higher)United StatesHumanitiesPhilosophyLearning and scholarshipUnited StatesHistoryHumanitiesPolitical aspectsUnited StatesHumanitiesUnited StatesHistoryHumanitiesStudy and teaching (Higher)HumanitiesPhilosophy.Learning and scholarshipHistory.HumanitiesPolitical aspectsHumanitiesHistory.001.3/071/173Spellmeyer Kurt1653306MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910810214303321Arts of living4004550UNINA
