Synopsis

The text you are now holding in your hands derives from one basic, but important, premise: that an educated person must be engaged in the important issues of his or her time. In a world that has become increasingly information-driven, we must take time to consider our lives more closely and with thoughtful scrutiny. In short, our knowledge-seeking selves depend on a willingness to participate in conversations about those topics that most affect us. If you are holding this book, you have already made a choice to undertake the difficult challenge of pursuing a college education. That choice is the beginning of a transformative journey that will see you conversing with classmates, professor and other educators, the authors you read, and even yourself as you grapple with complex issues and ideas.
