Doldrums in the Ivies: A Proposal Restoring Self Knowledge to a Liberal Education.

Ryan, Mark B.

Change, v12 n8 p32-38,55 Nov-Dec 1980

Traditionally, the goals of a liberal arts education have been expressed in terms of "self-actualization,""self-realization," and other terms implying self-fulfillment. The reality is that focus on measurable "achievements" tends to put students out of touch with the functioning of their own psyches. (MLW)
