NOT FOR PROFIT, is a short and powerful book, by celebrated philosopher Martha C. Nussbaum, and she makes a passionate case for the importance of the liberal arts at all levels of education.
Nussbaum argues that we must resist efforts to reduce education to a tool of the gross national product. Rather, we must work to reconnect education to the humanities in order to give students the capacity to be true democratic citizens of their countries and the world.
Translated into twenty-five languages, Not for Profit draws on the stories of troubling—and hopeful—global educational developments. Nussbaum offers a manifesto that should be a rallying cry for anyone who cares about the deepest purposes of education.
