The New Liberal Arts

What are the new liberal arts? What does "a liberal arts education" imply nowadays?

This slim volume offers a place to stand while pondering, and a few observations about what's worth looking at. You'll encounter thinkers of surprising range and ideas of surprising depth. Chances are you will find it a beginning, certainly not an end.
