In How to Think: The Liberal Arts and Their Enduring Value, Professor Michael D. C. Drout gives an impassioned defense and celebration of the value of the liberal arts. Charting the evolution of the liberal arts from their roots in the educational system of Ancient Rome through the Middle Ages and to the present day, Drout shows how the liberal arts have consistently been "the tools to rule", essential to the education of the leaders of society. Offering a reasoned defense of their continuing value, Drout also provides suggestions for improving the state of the liberal arts in contemporary society.

Excellent Course But Where is the Reference Guide?
Revisado: 08-25-18
Professor Drout gives a rousing defense of the importance of the Liberal Arts. He makes a strong distinction between the Liberal Arts as intended as opposed to the politicized Liberal Arts in today's academia. I particularly liked his Beowulf case study. He clearly demonstrates that true scholarly research of a classic document is much more than simply a word-for-word transcription. It also shows how much we learn of our own history as we pursue the detailed analysis of our ancient manuscripts.
Strangely, the Reference Guide that accompanies his other books (and most Modern Scholar courses) is missing from this one. Hopefully, Audible will add it soon. I would like to do a more detailed study of this work but that is very difficult without the reference guide.
