Unless carried out “liberally,” a historical study of the liberal arts may produce only a record of reutilized ideas and practices and offer little real insights. To avoid these, the present chapter would analyze the liberal arts in close relation to the major intellectual tasks in each historical period. Thus, it will see how the Aristotelian logic provided Medieval students with a sharp scalpel for dissecting feudalism and orthodox Christianity. How did seventeenth century science as the mathematical explication of physical world would try to close the desperate schism of Christendom? How did science, which had been expected to guarantee world peace, meet with a severe defeat in the face of WW I and bring about the revival of the humanities?. © 2016, Springer Science+Business Media Singapore.
