Why read it?
1 author picked Arts and Humanities in Progress as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Yet he makes recommendations that I applaud regarding integration, appreciating diverse theories and methods, being reflective, and pursuing clear and logical argumentation.
From Rick's list on reforming the social sciences and humanities.
