Review: In Defense of a Liberal Education
In Defense of a Liberal Education by Fareed Zakaria
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
A book I imagined to be thicker, but ended up less than 200 pages. Well, a defense can be long or short, I think.
The author tries to provide reasons for why we need a liberal education, which, I think, is itself something really hard to define and hard to persuade people of whose immediate effects on life. That's why I think the defense is really not so structured, with layers of arguments. However, I think this really has a lot to do with "liberal education" itself, so I won't blame the author too much, yet I still look forward to a better argument for a lover of liberal arts like me.
