“A liberal arts program or general education that fails to integrate specialized knowledge into general knowledge is not liberal arts. It fails in its first duty as a liberal education, namely, to bring about mutual understanding, to create a World of Dialogue, the condition for the existence of a civilization” (postcapitalist society). https://www.iot.ac.jp/manu/ueda/column/030412.html
