The classical ideal of a liberal arts education has long been under attack. Specifically, the idea of reason and its concomitants--objectivity, truth, and knowledge--are now systematically dismissed as the function of \u003cem\u003eWhite Privilege\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eracism\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003epatriarchy\u003c\/em\u003e, etc. by the postmodern leftist ideologues dominating colleges and universities. The assault against liberal learning is nothing less than an assault against the civilization--the West--that produced this ideal. There are, however, some academic dissidents who remain committed to the ideal of a liberal arts education. This book, written for an educated laity, is one dissident's attempt to defend the ideal by bringing attention to the assaults to which it's routinely subjected.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jack Kerwick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1941071872\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781941071878\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stairway Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/17\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.32d","brand":"Jack Kerwick","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442690076927,"sku":"9781941071878","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8187c883-b84f-4abf-be71-5155f3041a52.jpg?v=1777199102","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/higher-miseducation-jack-kerwick-9781941071878","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
