Philosophy: A Special Place in the Liberal Arts.
Garrett, Roland
Improving College and University Teaching, v27 n4 p139-41 Fall 1979
In its own fashion, philosophy encompasses everything and reflects the whole. Thus it has a special role in the liberal arts curriculum whose purpose is generality and breadth. Philosophy translates the generality of the liberal arts into reason and theory in an attempt to make the whole conceptually articulate. (JMD)
