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). - Schutzumschlag weist leichte Randläsuren auf, außerdem leicht berieben, Kopfschnitt minimal fleckig, Bleistifteintrag auf Vorsatz, sonst sehr guter Zustand / dust jacket has slight edgewear, also slightly rubbed, top edge slightly stained, pencil entry on endpaper, otherwise very good condition. - The role played by the humanities in reconciling American diversitya diversity of both ideas and peoplesis not always appreciated. This volume of essays, commissioned by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, examines that role in the half-century after World War II, when exceptional prosperity and population growth, coupled with Americas expanded political interaction with the world abroad, presented American higher education with unprecedented challenges and opportunities. The humanities proved to be the site for important efforts to incorporate groups and doctrines that had once been excluded from the American cultural conversation. The contributors explore the interaction between the humanities and demographic and cultural changes, including the link between these changes and the rise of new academic Specializations in area and other interdisciplinary studies. Analyzing the evolution of humanities disciplines and institutions and examining the conditions and intellectual climate in which they operate, this timely collection sheds new light on the role and value of the humanities in society. / CONTENTS Introduction David a.
