The author is concerned with literature as the teacher of virtue. The current crisis in the humanities, Mark William Roche argues, may be traced back to the separation of art and morality. ("When the distinction between is and ought is leveled," he writes, "the power of the professions increases.")The arts and humanities concern themselves with the fate and prospects of humankind. Today that fate and those prospects are under the increasing influence of technology. In a technological age, literature gains in importance precisely to the extent that our sense of intrinsic value is lost. In its elevation of play and inexhaustible meaning, literature offers a counterbalance to reason and efficiency. It helps us grasp the ways in which diverse parts form a comprehensive and complex whole, and it connects us with other ages and cultures. Not least, great literature grapples with the ethical challenges of the day. 606 $aLiterature and morals 606 $aLiterature and technology 606 $aCriticism 606 $aCanon (Literature) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLiterature and morals. 615 0$aLiterature and technology. 615 0$aCriticism. 615 0$aCanon (Literature) 676 $a801/.3 700 $aRoche$b Mark William$0602896 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452056203321 996 $aWhy literature matters in the 21st century$92453057 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01686nam 2200445Ia 450 001 9910698235903321 005 20070109103908.0 035 $a(CKB)3390000000045861 035 $a(OCoLC)77560866 035 $a(EXLCZ)993390000000045861 100 $a20070109d2006 ua 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmu|---||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aPostsecondary institutions in the United States$b[electronic resource] $efall 2005 and degrees and other awards conferred : 2004-05 /$fLaura G.
