ABSTRACT
This chapter implies that the goal of the educational process should be the development of individuals who can recognize logical distinctions, who can deal with different kinds of question in the appropriate manner, and who imbued with the kind of understanding that history, literature, art, religion, ethics, science, mathematics, and philosophy can variously provide. The business of science and scientific inquiry rightfully commands people respect, there are two dangers: taking an uncritical stance towards the various scientifically researched claims that are made; and scientifically demonstrated is the only kind of truth that people trust in. The traditional concerns of literary study are still important: how Anthony Trollope writes it is of considerable interest, and affects the nature of the story he tells. Beyond encouraging the philosophical, teaching needs to be focused on enabling students to understand the nature and limits of the various traditional bodies of thought, and, in the case of religion, history, and literature, on the content.
