Forms Of Knowledge

This article criticises the growing tendency to justify the humanities only in economic terms. It can be shown that liberal studies are indispensable to a global world. The argument is spelled out by reference to five different forms of knowledge that the humanities help to cultivate. They look for (1) a cultivation of perception and (2) a cultivation of memory. They care for (3) a cultivation of judgement that culminates in enlightenment, and (4) within the cultivation of memory they look for anamnestic justice. Finally, (5) they contribute to debates about orientation and meaning. These different, not only propositional forms of knowledge or epistemic abilities are illustrated by various examples of literature and philosophy.

Interdisciplinary Study

<P class=abstract>The University of Oklahoma's College of Liberal Studies was established as an academic unit in 1960, and provides interdisciplinary education to non-traditional students with programs for Bachelor&rsquo;s and Master&rsquo;s degrees in Liberal Studies. In the Fall of 2003, the College offered both degrees in a fully online format, with no student residency requirements. Learners engaged in interdisciplinary studies online are faced with the difficult task of integrating chaotic pieces of information, various ways of knowing, and dissimilar concepts from various disciplines into a coherent and integrated body of knowledge. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the phenomenon of conceptual integration, and the unique challenges and opportunities of providing interdisciplinary study online in the context of conceptual integration. </P>
