- W307688003 abstract "There is a widespread feeling of uneasiness in the field of human istic studies. It shows everywhere: Teachers are not sure of what they ought to teach; pupils doubt the value of what they are offered; in universities where the views of alumni and friends matter, there is hesitation over the distribution of money to various fields of re search and instruction; and public universities tend more and more to support projects that are immediately or potentially useful. What is wrong with the humanities? If a candid adversary were asked this question, his answer would probably be twofold: First, society does not need specialists in the humanities. A certain cultural veneer remains desirable, of course, and the humanities ought to remain in the college curriculum, but we ought not to spend an important part of the global intellectual force at our disposal on forming scholars and researchers in this field. Second, excepting countries where university studies give direct access to careers in the secondary school system, the pressure of student demand for humanistic study is not overwhelming. University teachers them selves complain about the difficulties they have in finding good graduate students and, above all, students prepared, willing, and able to acquire the sort of general culture necessary if new per spectives are to be opened and interesting results (as opposed to simply positive ones) are to be obtained. These criticisms are not independent of each other: Young people will not flock to the hu manities if the society which determines their outlook does not con sider humanistic studies useful, important, rewarding, and materially promising. The question then becomes one of defining what society?that is, the prevalent feelings and attitudes of the average citizens or their leaders?implicitly regards as useful: everything that leads to 237" @default.
