Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Arts of Living presents a social history of the humanities and a proposal for the future that places creativity at the heart of higher education. Engaging with the debate launched by Allan Bloom, Harold Bloom, Bill Readings, John Guillory, and others, Kurt Spellmeyer argues that higher education needs to abandon the "culture wars" if it hopes to address the major crises of the century: globalization, the degradation of the environment, the widening chasm between rich and poor, and the clash of cultures. Book News Annotation:Spellmeyer (English, Rutgers U.) points out that at the beginning of
the 20th century, rhetoric and classics formed the core of the
humanities curriculum. Though English and history now securely enjoy
those exalted position, they may follow their ancestors into
university terminal-care facilities unless they are dusted off and
reformed for the next century.
