Man, I have nothing against liberal arts per se. On the contrary, I think that a tragedy of our time is that people disconnected from things like literature, history and art in the name of over-specialization and an excessively utilitarian approach towards education.
But I am very critical of what pass as the modern liberal arts academic establishment. To avoid a very long text, let's say that my view is heavily influence by Ortega y Gasset.
