| Title: |
D'Alembert's dream and the utility of the humanities |
| Author: |
Hundert, Edward |

| Contents: |
D'Alembert's Preliminary Discourse, a once-influential eighteenth-century consideration of the utility of the humanities, is relevant to contemporary concerns about the declining importance of humanistic education. A sympathetic appraisal of d'Alembert's critique of humanistic erudition as largely useless can serve as a starting point for reconceiving of the humanities as studies that help train the professionals who administer the institutions of modern society to better understand their own commitments. |
