Abstract | Liberal education needs fewer friends who are merely well meaning and more friends who train themselves to fight for liberal education's distinctive goals--not to mention its very survival--the way they train themselves to be smart, savvy, and successful in their disciplines. The reason liberal education suffers today on all possible fronts--financial capital, conceptual capital, program coherence, curricular intelligibility, and persuasive rhetoric--is that no one inside universities receives any particular training in how to think critically, comprehensively, or philosophically about it. Few faculty members in today's universities would even know where to begin to bring themselves up to speed, as the saying goes, about liberal education in the way they know how to bring themselves up to speed within their disciplines.
