humanities, n.All

The Humanities is tasked with helping to better the conduct of human beings in their lives and manifold professional activities.

The Humanities is, like the arts, vastly more important in troubled times.

The Humanities is of symbol rather than concept.

The Olympics included competitions in the fine arts from 1912 to 1948 (literature, architecture, sculpture, painting, and music)

The Humanities is functional in our lives only when we neither forget it nor try to return to it.

The Humanities is in the world not of measurement of repeatable experiments, but that of ethical choice. For verified experiment and observation, students need to face in the same direction... for ethical choice, they need to face one another.

Humanities is own destiny, he will need the perspective and attitude of the humanist.

The Humanities is useful only when trying to be useless (i.e philosophy) and dangerous when trying to be useful.

The Humanities's importance lies in the fact that if history, philosophy and so on vanish from academic life, what they leave in their wake may be a technical training facility or corporate research institute.
