Mikhail Epstein echoes, in part, Bacon's vision and outlines the "desirable" disciplines and methodologies that may emerge in the humanities in response to the new realities of the twenty-first century. Are the humanities a purely scholarly field, or should they have some active, constructive supplement? We know that technology serves as the practical extension of the natural sciences, and politics as the extension of the social sciences. Both technology and politics are designed to transform what their respective disciplines study objectively. The Transformative Humanities: A Manifesto addresses the question: Is there any activity in the humanities that would correspond to the transformative status of technology and politics? It argues that we need a practical branch of the humanities which functions similarly to technology and politics, but is specific to the cultural domain 606 $aHumanities$xPhilosophy 606 $2Literary theory 606 $aLearning and scholarship 615 0$aHumanities$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aLearning and scholarship. 676 $a001.3 700 $aEpstein$b Mikhail$0791562 702 $aKlyukanov$b Igor 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461972503321 996 $aThe transformative humanities$91943664 997 $aUNINA
