Oh The Humanities - A Defense of the Humanities
In this video, I defend the utility and importance of the humanities - English, Philosophy, History - against the popularity of STEM subjects - Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths. I argue that the humanities are indispensable to our endeavors as humans, whatever those endeavours might be.
In a Defence of Poetry, written in 1821, Shelley argued that:
'Poets are the hierophants of an unapprehended inspiration; the mirrors of the gigantic shadows which futurity casts upon the present; the words which express what they understand not; the trumpets which sing to battle, and feel not what they inspire; the influence which is moved not, but moves. Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world.'
