Book excerpt: Liberal education has long been associated with a focus on so-called "great books" drawn largely from the European past. In sharp contrast, this collection of essays explores the theory and practice of contemporary liberal education from the perspective of a distinctively American pragmatic tradition. The result is a reimagined libe ral education adapted to the needs of American democracy in the twenty-first century.
