Inhaltsangabe

A defense of individual judgment as the core of humanistic study
 
Why do some works of art and thought speak to us for generations while the vast majority are quickly forgotten? What insights do we gain from our experience of exceptional literature, philosophy, and art? How are we changed by our encounters with those works? Professional scholars in the humanities have lately grown uncomfortable, even embarrassed, about judging and asserting the human value of the works they love. In ten experimental and wide-ranging essays, this book seeks to restore value and taste as legitimate bases for judgment and illustrate how scholars can pursue wisdom by reflecting on works they judge worthy of serious attention and searching criticism.
