Core and Context : Selected Essays for the Fifth Annual Conference of the Association of Core Texts and Courses Herausgeber: Cowan, Bainard; Lee, Scott
Uniting the Liberal Arts: Core and Context is a selection of essays, presented or further developed from the 1999 Association of Core Texts and Courses conference in New Orleans, focusing on a few of the vertices or vortices, where an intensified sense of the interplay between the ways of knowledge may be glimpsed, or a memorable moment in the past when all briefly achieved a greater congruity may be revived for new consideration.
