Writing for The Atlantic, Prof. Joshua Bennett shares his vision for a “Great Books” program for students that “centers the history, poetics, and philosophy of science.” Bennett explains: “In my view, we need a renewed emphasis not just on the arts and humanities as such, but on making meaningful connections between humanistic thinking and technological development. We need to clarify, often and in public, why the pursuit of scientific knowledge matters in the first place, as well as what we actually want pathbreaking new technologies to offer us.”
