Le rôre des sciences humaines, à l'école et dans la vie

La question de la place des sciences humaines est un thème très actuel aux États-Unis. Pourquoi ne pas profiter de la réflexion qui s'effectue chez nos voisins du sud? Le New Times publie ici des lettres en réaction à un précédent article sur le sujet.

 "As president of a college that offers both liberal arts and engineering, I can say that most colleges do not view humanities and sciences as in competition with each other. Today’s students need to develop the capacity for open-ended inquiry cultivated by the liberal arts, and also the problem-solving skills associated with science and technology. A quality curriculum does not shirk its responsibility to offer both."
