Aims to integrate and expand upon three distinct discourses on humanistic and liberal education. Argues that humanistic education can be classified into four forms--classical, romantic, existentialist, and radical--and that they should be viewed as complementing rather than negating each other. Offers an integrative model of humanistic and liberal education, based on principles such as acculturation, autonomy, and authenticity. Contains 39 references. (VWC)
