From: Columbia University
| By:
Edward Said |
EDITOR'S INTRODUCTION |
The canon, the center of the study of humanism, includes the great works of literature, music and art that are deemed to represent the highest in human achievement. Universities, scholars and students repeatedly struggle with what is, and what is not, in the canon. Edward Said, University Professor at Columbia University, provides a clear appraisal of the history of humanism and its intersections with cultural battles in the twentieth century. |
Edward Said discusses the major transformations in humanistic practice that have taken place since the end of World War II.
