| Abstract | "This book features prominent scholars whose essays draw from their research expertise and experience as educators to assess the value of liberal and civic education in the modern world. Their essays demonstrate how the study of transformative texts is an important adjunct to teaching citizenship in the United States. The unifying theme of the essays is the need to create space for contemplation and leisure in academic life-an indispensable feature of a classic liberal education that permits students to reflect upon what it means to live nobly before assuming future leadership roles in their professional lives"-- Provided by publisher. |
