The Problem with Rules
2021
Overview
There is a constant drumbeat of commentary claiming that STEM
subjects-science, technology, engineering, and math-are far more
valuable in today's economy than traditional liberal arts courses
such as philosophy or history. Many even claim that the liberal
arts are \"under siege\" by neoliberal politicians and cost-conscious
university administrators. In a forceful response, The Problem with
Rules establishes the essential value of the liberal arts as the
pedagogical pathway to critical thinking and moral character and
argues for more not less emphasis in higher education.
John Churchill asserts that the liberal arts are more than
decorative frills. Drawing from the philosophy of Wittgenstein to
craft a cogent, inspired argument, Churchill insists on the liberal
arts' indispensable role, providing in this book a clarion call to
politicians, university administrators, and all Americans to
recognize and actively support and nurture the liberal arts.
The Executive Secretary of the Phi Beta Kappa Society argues the
indispensable role of the liberal arts in American higher
education.
