| Research Abstract |
Reestablishing an idea of liberal arts in the new curriculum is imperatively needed. Liberal arts, as E.Boyer expounded, should be best taught as "integrated core". But it requires not only careful and flexible abilities of the faculty but also the efforts which may help students see the meaning of leaning and life. The ideal of liberal arts seems to have been ignored for the sake of practical and utilitarian goals which have actually brought about the fragmented world-riews.
The misleading idea generally prevails that specialized education can take the place of liberal arts. Our serious concern is to make it explicit whether specialized education can widen our mental and intellectual horizon.
The ideal and practice of liberal arts in the deregulated curriculum, therefore, must be based on and so directed toward the human existence as to make students see what life is in specialized education. What is called "paradigm-shift" radical transfiguration ofknowledge, will surely give a light to the ends and means of liberal arts.
