The liberal arts (Latin: artes liberales) are those subjects or skills that in classical antiquity were considered essential for a free person (Latin: liberalis, "worthy of a free person") to know in order to take an active part in civic life, something that (for Ancient Greece) included participating in public debate, defending oneself in court, serving on juries, and most importantly, military service. Grammar, logic, and rhetoric were the core liberal arts, while arithmetic, geometry, the theory of music, and astronomy also played a (somewhat lesser) part in education.
In modern times, liberal arts education is a term that can be interpreted in different ways. It can refer to certain areas of literature, languages, art history, music history, philosophy, history, mathematics, psychology, and science. It can also refer to studies in a liberal arts degree program. For example, Harvard University offers a Master of Liberal Arts degree, which covers biological and social sciences as well as the humanities. For both interpretations, the term generally refers to matters not relating to the professional, vocational, or technical curriculum.

What in the world happened to the liberal arts? A degree in the humanities used to transmit the knowledge and wisdom imbued in the works of great Western artists, writers, musicians and thinkers like Shakespeare and Mozart. But today, that same degree stresses Western racism, sexism, imperialism, and other ills and sins that reinforce a sense of victimhood and narcissism. So, what happened?

Newly single and uninspired by his job in college admissions, the introverted Jesse Fisher (Josh Radnor) lives with his head buried in a book. His deep nostalgia for his own alma mater in Ohio -- the dining halls and dorm rooms, the parties and poetry seminars -- makes him wonder if his best days are behind him. So when his favorite professor (Richard Jenkins) invites him back to campus to speak at his retirement dinner, Jesse jumps at the chance. Meeting Zibby (Elizabeth Olsen) -- a precocious classical music-loving sophomore -- awakens in Jesse long-dormant feelings of possibility and connection.

At this year's Aspen Ideas Festival, we asked a group of academics within some of America's top universities to weigh in on the fate of higher education. "We won't have liberal arts and sciences at all 50 years from now unless we really understand how to save what's good, but reinvent what's new and needed," says Harvard University education professor Howard Gardner. Other panelists include Sebastian Thrun, Elisa New, Drew Faust, Erika Christakis, and Nicholas Dirks. The Big Question is a series inspired by The Atlantic's back-page feature.

The aim of this topical book is to encourage practical educational reform in the Humanities by taking the emphasis away from the reception of texts to their production. Adapting rhetorical teaching methods, the authors encourage students to participate in the activities of thinking giving them short written and verbal exercises to develop conceptual competences and linguistics skills. It is argued that these methods can be implemented successfully across a wide number of humanities subjects and that they encourage the development of practical transferable skills, both cognitive and linguistic.the ...

W. Martin Bloomer details the processes, exercises, claims, and contexts of liberal education from the late first century Bce to the third century Cethe epoch of rhetorical education.

This book will appeal to researchers in leadership studies, management, and the liberal arts.

So you found the lock but not the key
That college brings, and all the trouble
Of a B.A. in English Literature
Instead of law, or something more practical
You've traded all your time for money and the blues.
And no trust fund or daddy doctors, what do you have to prove
So you found your joy on Saturdays, friends and family
fingering you girlfriend.
Your father's pride was beaming
when you bought your first home in garden city.
You bring the tea, I'll bring the fashion,
our attitude.
Long silver walks, upstate, you miss the thing.
Do you?
So you found the lock but not the key
that college brings, and all the trouble
The carnage brings, and all the trouble
... much let to... instead of loss
Or something more practically
You're dreaming on it's time for money and the blues
