N2  -  "Philosopher Martha Nussbaum makes a passionate case for the importa nce of the liberal arts at all levels of education. Nussbaum argues tha t we must resist efforts to reduce education to a tool of the gross nat ional product. Rather, we must work to reconnect education to the human ities in order to give students the capacity to be true democratic citi zens of their countries and the world"--Jacket
