I disagree that modern humanities have abandoned those topics. I know plenty of people studying Greek, Latin, Classics, etc. Especially if you count people studying them as modules, rather than as the entire focus of their degree.
I get the impression you don't value things like anthropology, non-Western history and gender studies. Correct me if I'm wrong. I'd disagree here as well, though. I value and respect those disciplines, and I don't see their growth as a bad thing.
- logicchains 11y agoI suspect if you compared the relative number of people studying those topics now to fifty years ago, there'd be significantly fewer now studying classics etc. I've nothing against anthropology, gender studies etc. as disciplines, just with how they're often taught, with a focus on promoting particular ideologies rather than detached critical thinking.
