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 description. 606 $aHumanities$xPhilosophy 606 $aHumanities$xStudy and teaching (Higher) 606 $aInterdisciplinary approach in education 615 0$aHumanities$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aHumanities$xStudy and teaching (Higher) 615 0$aInterdisciplinary approach in education. 676 $a001.301 700 $aTouya de Marenn$b Eric$01549861 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792632403321 996 $aThe case for the humanities$93808200 997 $aUNINA
