Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Interdisciplinary Knowledge for Development and Dignity offers a bold and timely vision for General Education in the 21st-century university. At a moment when higher education is increasingly fragmented, over-specialized, and detached from ethical purpose, this volume proposes an integrated core curriculum grounded in critical reasoning, interdisciplinary knowledge, sustainable education, entrepreneurship, and ethics. Developed as the comprehensive General Education and Capstone core for Saint Monica University, this book brings together insights from the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, technology, business, and theology to form students intellectually, morally, and professionally. Rather than treating General Education as a checklist of disconnected courses, the authors present it as a coherent educational journey oriented toward human development, dignity, and social responsibility. Each chapter corresponds to a foundational or integrative course in the General Education curriculum, addressing essential areas such as communication and rhetoric, mathematics and data literacy, scientific inquiry, philosophy and logic, history and civic responsibility, economics and entrepreneurship, design and sustainability, information technology and cybersecurity, comparative religion, ethics, and applied interdisciplinary research. Throughout, the book emphasizes ethical reasoning, evidence-based inquiry, and practical engagement with real-world challenges. Anchored in the framework of Critical Synthetic Realism, the text affirms the pursuit of objective truth while recognizing the limits of knowledge and the need for humility, dialogue, and responsible action. The culminating Capstone Project guides students in integrating learning across disciplines to address concrete social, economic, and technological problems with measurable impact. Written for students, faculty, administrators, and policymakers, Interdisciplinary Knowledge for Development and Dignity serves simultaneously as a textbook, a teaching guide, and an institutional blueprint-reimagining General Education as preparation not only for careers, but for ethical leadership, civic engagement, and lifelong learning in a complex and interconnected world.
