Ideas Have Consequences--Or Do They?
Spaeth, Robert L.
College Teaching, v34 n1 p17-19 Win 1986
Liberty, equality, justice, compassion, truth, beauty, responsibility, cooperation, humility, progress, decency--teachers urge their students to learn about these great ideas from the great literature in the hope they will move American society to be more controlled by them. The alternative is a society concerned only with self-interest. (MLW)
