Stanley Fish on the use of the humanities

Duke U. postmodernist luminary and literary critic Stanley Fish has a blog at NY Times, and has started a great conversation about the “use” of the humanities with his posting Will the Humanities Save Us? and its follow-up yesterday, The Uses of the Humanities, Part Two. Great discussion about “art for art’s sake”, the instrumental versus the aesthetic, etc.
