Download or read book A New History of the Humanities written by Rens Bod and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-11-14 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many histories of science have been written, but A New History of the Humanities offers the first overarching history of the humanities from Antiquity to the present. There are already historical studies of musicology, logic, art history, linguistics, and historiography, but this volume gathers these, and many other humanities disciplines, into a single coherent account. Its central theme is the way in which scholars throughout the ages and in virtually all civilizations have sought to identify patterns in texts, art, music, languages, literature, and the past. What rules can we apply if we wish to determine whether a tale about the past is trustworthy? By what criteria are we to distinguish consonant from dissonant musical intervals? What rules jointly describe all possible grammatical sentences in a language? How can modern digital methods enhance pattern-seeking in the humanities? Rens Bod contends that the hallowed opposition between the sciences (mathematical, experimental, dominated by universal laws) and the humanities (allegedly concerned with unique events and hermeneutic methods) is a mistake born of a myopic failure to appreciate the pattern-seeking that lies at the heart of this inquiry. A New History of the Humanities amounts to a persuasive plea to give Panini, Valla, Bopp, and countless other often overlooked intellectual giants their rightful place next to the likes of Galileo, Newton, and Einstein.

Download or read book Humanities written by Thomas Rooney and published by NEA Professional Library. This book was released on 1989 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few U.S. high school students know art or music history, but the languages of the arts should not be foreign to anyone. History should be taught as an exploration of human endeavors and expressions. History provides the framework to help people learn the changing forms, styles, and functions of the arts, religion, philosophy, and other humanistic endeavors. The study of history enhances the study of the arts and vice versa. A curriculum should impose an order that will help students find patterns in the categories and chronologies of the humanities without sacrificing their own emotional, aesthetic, and intellectual responses to each work they encounter. By viewing history as a pattern, as a series of interrelated cycles repeated in a variety of ways, educators help to prepare students for new experiences and equip them to understand the past and the present and to be ready for the future. Chapter 1 presents a rationale for integrating the arts into secondary education. Chapter 2 discusses teaching students how to respond to the arts through subject, function, and form. Chapter 3 is a case study of an interdisciplinary humanities course for high school seniors taught in Needham High School (Massachusetts). The organization of the course is discussed and sample activities are presented. Chapter 4 discusses student reactions to the course. A 10-item bibliography concludes the document. (JB)

Sayre helps students see context and make connections across the humanities by tying together the entire cultural experience through a narrative storytelling approach. Henry Sayre took the introduction to the humanities course as a sophomore and was inspired to devote his life to the study of the humanities. He has always wanted to write a book that passes along the important and compelling stories of the humanities. Henry believes that students learn best by remembering stories, not by memorizing facts. What makes The Humanities special is that it tells the stories and captures the voices that have shaped and influenced human thinking and creativity.
