Photo: BIGSTOCKThe importance of a liberal arts educationA disdain for the intellectuals and the arts is one of the early warning signs of fascism. A liberal arts education, along with the humanities, promotes the sciences in earnest and fosters life-long learning. And by “learning,” liberal arts does not mean the accumulation of knowledge, it is the interpretation of that data that the liberal arts focuses on. A liberal arts education changes the way we think, judge, weigh, and see the world around us, for the better. An inspiration to our youth sadly promotes a strong utilitarian version of what learning is.
