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. 606 $aHumanities$xStudy and teaching (Higher)$zUnited States 606 $aHumanities$xPhilosophy 606 $aLearning and scholarship$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aHumanities$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 606 $aHumanities$zUnited States$xHistory 615 0$aHumanities$xStudy and teaching (Higher) 615 0$aHumanities$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aLearning and scholarship$xHistory. 615 0$aHumanities$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aHumanities$xHistory. 676 $a001.3/071/173 700 $aSpellmeyer$b Kurt$01653306 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810214303321 996 $aArts of living$94004550 997 $aUNINA
