The Three Faces of Thinking.
King, Jonathan B.
Journal of Higher Education, v57 n1 p78-92 Jan-Feb 1986
The liberal arts are undervalued because many do not understand what thinking entails. Empirical reasoning is only one facet of thought; interpretation and evaluation are just as critical and are what the liberal arts teach. This imbalance that permeates the system of higher education is discussed. (Author/MLW)
