Description
In this second and expanded edition of Falling Inward: Humanities in the Age of Technology, Jason Baxter provides a forgotten yet compelling answer to the question, “Why study the humanities?” While many invitations to the humanities center on calls for self-improvement, Baxter beckons readers away from a utilitarian view of the humanities—and of life in general—towards a vision of enjoying the arts as an explorer would, traversing a rich and variegated landscape of beauty that resonates with the depths within us and beyond us. Baxter draws together a dialogue with the humanities that ranges from Plato to Christopher Nolan, from the symphony of a Gothic cathedral to the solitude a Wyoming sky, weaving in conversations with the sciences along the way. A new introduction and epilogue broaden the context of this conversation, ever reminding readers that a love of the humanities can awaken a love for the sublime structure of this world.
