Zachem Demokratii Nuzhny Gumanitarnye Nauki

In this book, philosopher Martha Nussbaum makes a case for the importance of the liberal arts at all levels of education. Historically, the humanities have been central to education because they have been seen as essential for creating competent citizens. But recently, Nussbaum argues, thinking about the aims of education has gone disturbingly awry in the United States and abroad. We increasingly treat education as though its primary goal were to teach students to be economically productive rather than to think critically and become knowledgeable and empathetic citizens. The professor also makes case how to make students a permanent revolutionary force in the society.
