About this book

An impassioned defence of the liberal arts.

Reviews

"Paul Axelrod provides an impassioned defence of the liberal arts while avoiding nostalgia about them. No Canadian scholar has placed such work within a brief but overarching framework - and certainly none with liberal education in Canada as its central concern. Axelrod's book fulfils this role admirably and may serve to facilitate a national debate on the problem he raises." A.B. McKillop, author of A Disciplined Intelligence: Critical Inquiry and Canadian Thought in the Victorian Era ----- "A valuable and compendious effort, summarizing much of the current research in academic-corporate relations and making a persuasive argument for the necessity of liberal education in a world increasingly dominated by market forces and performativity minded governments. This is an important contribution to the educational debate. Axelrod is on the side of the angels." David Solway, author of Lying About the Wolf: Essays in Culture and Education
