Still, I wonder if either the quantity or the quality is too low. My university was particularly known for its well-rounded, humanities-friendly culture. But in my own experience, I only had one humanities class that I really felt like I learned things in. It was titled "Great Texts" - we read excerpts from The Iliad, Augustine's Confessions, Nicomachean Ethics, Plato's Republic, and others along the same lines - and most of the course was spent having engaging, open discussions about the readings. It had a major impact on my inner life and I wish I'd had time to take some other classes like that. My other "humanities courses" included: - "Political Science" - rote memorization of how the United States' government works with very little analysis or discussion - Psychology/Sociology, which were somewhat interesting but pretty straightforwardly scientific/memorization-heavy
