Ness Book Award. Nominated for the 2015 Eric Hoffer Book Award. "This book will help individuals become more open, courageous, and willing to engage in meaningful and constructive dialogue in their search for truth." -Miriam Montano, undergraduate student in California This book will, first, move the reader through philosophy's major conceptions as ideas that initiate and sustain educational and learning processes. The book will then provide an historical account of the key periods, development, and continuing contributions of the liberal arts enterprise. The book also includes three chapters on the application dimensions of the liberal arts model of higher learning, mainly its development of critical, creative, and ethical thinking competencies for effective citizenship and problem solving in the world.
