Coming August 25: Nussbaum's Not for Profit

Dear readers, lest you forget: Our online reading group on Martha Nussbaum's defense of humanities education, Not for Profit: Why Democracy Needs the Humanities, will kick off August 25.


I'll get things started, followed by posts from Chris Panza, John Alexander, and the rest of the ISW crew.

Here are links for acquiring the book: Amazon, Princeton

And here's a PDF of chapter one.

I hope you'll all join in the discussion!
