Becoming better critical thinkers doesn't mean we have to become philosophers. As users of language, Scheuer explains, we're already philosophers. Advanced critical thinking simply makes us better philosophers - and better learners and citizens. In lucid and often witty prose, Scheuer guides us through the moral and conceptual heart of the liberal education ideal. In an era when colleges and universities are struggling to convey the value of that ideal to students and parents, \u003ci\u003eInside the Liberal Arts\u003c\/i\u003e will be a lasting aid to intellectual excellence, and a benchmark for understanding what it means to be an educated citizen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeffrey Scheuer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1475869878\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781475869873\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/08\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Jeffrey Scheuer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44129248870655,"sku":"9781475869873","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f4f64141-b463-4b73-9428-90937e3cc468.jpg?v=1687462861","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/inside-the-liberal-arts-jeffrey-scheuer-9781475869873","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
