Paperback. Condition: Gut. XIII, 192 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - minimale Randläsuren, sonst guter Zustand / minimal edge wear, otherwise good condition. - The humanities are vital to American societyto our self- awareness, our culture, our vision of the future. They illuminate the human dimensions of science and technology and help us understand the consequences of choosing between competing values. This report of the Commission on the Humanities, sponsored by the Rockefeller Foundation, assesses the state of the humanities at the beginning of the 1980s. The commission examines education, cultural institutions, and public and private funding for the humanities, and concludes that the humanities need rethinking as much as financial support. The commission proposes broad definitions of literacy, voca- tionalism, and of the purposes of education at all levels; points to the unique capacities of museums and libraries for interpreting our cultural heritage; and urges bridging the gulf that often separates the humanities from science, technology, and the electronic media. The commission also recommends formal collaboration between educational and cultural institutions and new roles for private corporations, which have the greatest capacity to provide new support for the humanities. Strengthening the humanities is essential, according to the commission, if we are to improve the quality of education in our elementary and secondary schoolsthe highest educational priority for the 1980s. But this book is not for educators alone. If is for all who care about the qualities of American life that the humanities preserve and enhance. / CONTENTS Commission on the Humanities Preface 1 The Humanities in America DOMAINS OF THE HUMANITIES Culture and Citizenship Science and Technology PRIORITIES AND RECOMMENDATIONS Priorities for the 1980s Summary of Recommendations 2 The Humanities in the Schools EDUCATIONAL POLICY CURRICULUM: BEYOND THE BASICS TEACHING SCHOOL-COLLEGE COLLABORATION 3 The Humanities and Higher Education UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION GRADUATE EDUCATION FOR THE PROFESSIONS GRADUATE TRAINING IN THE HUMANITIES RESEARCH AND SCHOLARSHIP 4 The Humanities in Community and Private Life EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS Vocational Education Adult Basic Education Continuing Education CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS Museums Public Libraries Historical Organizations MEDIA Television and Radio Newspapers 5 Support for the Humanities PROBLEMS OF SUPPORT SOURCES OF SUPPORT Foundations Corporations The National Endowment for the Humanities Index.
