Product Information
The question of what living is for--of what one should care about and why--is the most important question a person can ask. Yet under the influence of the modern research ideal, our colleges and universities have expelled this question from their classrooms, judging it unfit for organized study. In this eloquent and carefully considered book, Tony Kronman explores why this has happened and calls for the restoration of life's most important question to an honored place in higher education. The author contrasts an earlier era in American education, when the question of the meaning of life was at the center of instruction, with our own times, when this question has been largely abandoned by college and university teachers. In particular, teachers of the humanities, who once felt a special responsibility to guide their students in exploring the question of what living is for, have lost confidence in their authority to do so. And they have lost sight of the question itself in the blinding fog of political correctness that has dominated their disciplines for the past forty years. Yet Kronman sees a readiness for change--a longing among teachers as well as students to engage questions of ultimate meaning. He urges a revival of the humanities' lost tradition of studying the meaning of life through the careful but critical reading of great works of literary and philosophical imagination. And he offers here the charter document of that revival.

Reviews
"Kronman argues his case passionately. His discussion of the transformation of American higher education over the last century and a half is most illuminating."-George Leef, NationalReview.com, "Just when we need them most, the humanities have relinquished their role at the heart of liberal education-helping students reflect on what makes life worth living. In this bold and provocative book, Anthony Kronman explains why the humanities have lost their way. With eloquence and passion, he argues that departments of literature, classics, and philosophy can recover their authority and prestige only by reviving their traditional focus on fundamental questions about the meaning of life."-Michael J. Sandel, author of The Case against Perfection and Public Philosophy, " No question that the humanities are in a bad way in education at the present, and this book offers not just an argument that they should be more highly prized, but a carefully reasoned position of what happened, why it did, and what needs and can be done about it." -- Alvin Kernan, author of "In Plato' s Cave", "Kronman unfolds here a sustained argument marked by subtlety, force, nuance, and considerable appeal."--Francis Oakley, President Emeritus, Williams College, "Just when we need them most, the humanities have relinquished their role at the heart of liberal education�helping students reflect on what makes life worth living. In this bold and provocative book, Anthony Kronman explains why the humanities have lost their way.

Sandel, author of The Case against Perfection and Public Philosophy, �In a brilliant, sustained argument that is as forthright, bold, and passionately felt as it is ideologically unclassifiable and original, Anthony Kronman leaps in a bound into the center of America�s cultural disputes, not to say cultural wars. Although Kronman�s specific area of concern is higher education, his argument will reach far beyond campus walls.��Jonathan Schell, author of The Unconquerable World: Power, Nonviolence and the Will of the People, "No question that the humanities are in a bad way in education at the present, and this book offers not just an argument that they should be more highly prized, but a carefully reasoned position of what happened, why it did, and what needs and can be done about it."-Alvin Kernan, author ofIn Plato's Cave, �No question that the humanities are in a bad way in education at the present, and this book offers not just an argument that they should be more highly prized, but a carefully reasoned position of what happened, why it did, and what needs and can be done about it.��Alvin Kernan, author of In Plato�s Cave, "Kronman unfolds here a sustained argument marked by subtlety, force, nuance, and considerable appeal."-Francis Oakley, President Emeritus, Williams College, "In a brilliant, sustained argument that is as forthright, bold, and passionately felt as it is ideologically unclassifiable and original, Anthony Kronman leaps in a bound into the center of America's cultural disputes, not to say cultural wars.
