Brad East and Jon Baskin, editor for The Point Magazine, discuss the recent essay that Jon and Anastasia Berg wrote for the New York Times. They consider the crises facing the humanities and their institutional home in the academy; the goods and ends of humanistic education; the democratic potential of the liberal arts; the possibilities of humanistic education beyond the bounds of higher ed; and the role of ideas magazines in times of social upheaval and uncertainty.
