Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This fascinating book explores the evolution of the concept of the 'humanities' through the centuries, illustrating how the ideals of classical education have influenced society. The author argues that while the humanities enhance personal growth, the practical emphasis in modern education neglects their inherent value. By delving into the historical role of the humanities and examining the impact of subjects like literature and philosophy, this book invites readers to reflect on the importance of liberal education. It proposes that focusing on the 'useless' but intellectually rewarding aspects of education empowers individuals to strive beyond mere technical skills and inspires moral growth. Challenging the dominant emphasis on utility, this book emphasizes the timeless significance of the humanities in shaping well-rounded individuals. It astutely observes that the true worth of these disciplines lies not in their immediate applicability but in their ability to cultivate an open mind, foster critical thinking, and nurture a sense of purpose in readers seeking a meaningful life. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781332141845_0
