After a brief discussion of Greek tragedy and its connection to our contemporary moral predicaments in the wake of September 11th, this essay delineates three capacities essential to the cultivation of the formation of humanity: the capacity for critical examination of oneself and one’s traditions; the ability of citizens to see themselves as citizens of the world; and the cultivation of a narrative imagination. It is argued that human flourishing (happiness) depends on colleges and universities cultivating these capacities through a liberal arts education.

摘要

After a brief discussion of Greek tragedy and its connection to our contemporary moral predicaments in the wake of September 11th, this essay delineates three capacities essential to the cultivation of the formation of humanity: the capacity for critical examination of oneself and one’s traditions; the ability of citizens to see themselves as citizens of the world; and the cultivation of a narrative imagination. It is argued that human flourishing (happiness) depends on colleges and universities cultivating these capacities through a liberal arts education.
