Edition 31: Ways of Seeing

Edition 31 cover

 

The complexity and urgency of twenty-first century problems
demand new Ways of Seeing. For decades, the humanities and
social sciences have withered in the shadow of market economics
and scientific rationalism.

Now more than ever, we need a human-centred approach to the
big dilemmas of the day, learning from literature and philosophy
and drawing on the creative imagination.

Philosopher and author John Armstrong argues that the value of humanities is measured by their worth and relevance outside the academy. Award-winning historian Peter Cochrane reveals the importance of historical imagination; Tanveer Ahmed explores neuroscience and policy; Leah Kaminsky reconnects the physician
with the narrative.

This edition also contains essays, memoir and fiction by Ian Lowe, Robyn Williams, Robert Hillman, Amanda Lohrey and
Julienne van Loon, plus much more.
