Synopsis

The focus of this book is on the theme of liberal education. Some contributors explore our common humanity, particularly the humanity of our teachers and students. Others explore the dialogue of ideas, the conversation that takes place across texts, cultures, and time. Perhaps most importantly, there is in these pages the primary conversation between the text and the student, which teachers attempt to aid and cultivate.
