"Where is the humanities toolbox for creating or making a better world?" asks Robert Danisch. "My pitch to reverse this trend," he writes. "Let's teach students to be makers, builders and creators, the architects of the future, and not just demolition crews." I completely agree; this was my thinking behind "the joy of ethics". We are given an opportunity not only to identify what's wrong, but to build something that's good and right. "The humanities aren't just instruments of criticism," says Danisch. "They also hold the keys to how we might imagine a better world, particularly through their emphasis on the public good and the skills necessary for constructively managing difference."
