href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/How_to_Succeed_in_Business_Without_Really_Trying_(musical)\">Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway musical<\/a>\u00a0of the 1960s, now I suspect embarrassingly dated (although it\u2019s been revived as recently as 2011), that I adored in high school.\u00a0 But this post comes in response to an<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasnews.com\/opinion\/commentary\/2018\/06\/19\/businesses-looking-perceptive-thinkers-looking-philosophy-majors\">\u00a0op-ed piece<\/a>\u00a0published two days ago in the\u00a0<em>Dallas Morning<\/em>\u00a0<em>News<\/em>\u00a0by two University of Dallas philosophy professors.\u00a0 Their essay references the recent\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aaup.org\/news\/joint-statement-aacu-liberal-arts#.Wyv-94onZAh\">joint statement<\/a>\u00a0on the liberal arts by the AAUP and the Association of American Colleges and Universities, which concluded that \u201cHigher education\u2019s contributions to the common good and to the functioning of our democracy are severely compromised when universities eliminate and diminish the liberal arts.\u201d\u00a0 The statement pointed out as well that \u201cliberal arts majors make great tech-sector workers precisely because they are trained to think critically and creatively, and to adapt to unforeseen circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t just wishful thinking or some theoretical position unsupported by evidence, as the Dallas philosophers argue.\u00a0 Here\u2019s how they open their essay:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Last month, a philosophy major from the University of Dallas carried his diploma straight from academia to a job in investment banking.\u00a0 He got this job not despite his degree, but because of it.\u00a0 A firm that manages trillions of dollars in assets contacted UD\u2019s career office seeking a liberal arts major.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cPhilosophy and the liberal arts give graduates a competitive advantage in the workplace by fostering critical thinking,\u201d they write.\u00a0 \u201cBut we believe that these disciplines cultivate an even more powerful skill: perceptive thinking.\u201d\u00a0 In support they turn to one of the world\u2019s most successful businessmen:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>In April, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.c-span.org\/video\/?443954-1\/amazon-ceo-jeff-bezos-discusses-companys-future\">told an audience<\/a>\u00a0at Southern Methodist University that he does not let his executives use PowerPoint, or even bullet points.\u00a0 Instead, they must craft a six-page narrative memo for each meeting.\u00a0 The first half-hour of the meeting involves silent reading of the text, followed by an engaging discussion.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Guess which majors best prepare their graduates to do that?\u00a0 The philosophers go on to quote Mark Cuban, the flamboyant owner of the NBA Dallas Mavericks, among other businesses.\u00a0 According to Cuban, \u201cI personally think there\u2019s going to be a greater demand in 10 years for liberal arts majors than there were for programming majors and maybe even engineering, because when the data is all being spit out for you, options are being spit out for you, you need a different perspective in order to have a different view of the data.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In January Wall Street investor Bill Miller donated $75 million to the philosophy department at his alma mater, Johns Hopkins University.\u00a0 Here\u2019s how he explained it, as quoted in the Dallas op-ed:\u00a0 \u201cPhilosophy,\u201d\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.weeklystandard.com\/ethan-epstein\/bill-miller-had-i-not-studied-philosophy-i-would-be-a-completely-different-and-probably-worse-person-than-i-am\">Miller said<\/a>, \u201cinvolves critical thinking and reasoning about highly complex issues.\u00a0 At its best it is rigorous and analytical.\u00a0 These skills are exactly what are required to think through and understand capital markets and the analysis of businesses.\u00a0 However good one is at this, philosophical training will make you better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As an historian, I can only add that studying history, literature, political science, anthropology or sociology, as well as many humanistic inter-disciplinary majors, can also play a similar part in preparing their graduates for business\u2013as well as for a more fruitful and rewarding life overall.\u00a0 As the AAUP-AACU joint statement put it,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Institutions of higher education, if they are truly to serve as institutions of\u00a0higher\u00a0education, should provide more than narrow vocational training and should seek to enhance students\u2019 capacities for lifelong learning.\u00a0 This is as true of open-access institutions as it is of highly selective elite colleges and universities.\u00a0 The disciplines of the liberal arts\u2014and the overall benefit of a liberal education\u2014are exemplary in this regard, for they foster intellectual curiosity about questions that will never be definitively settled\u2014questions about justice, about community, about politics and culture, about difference in every sense of the word.\u00a0 All college students and not solely a privileged few should have opportunities to address such questions as a critical part of their educational experience. And the disciplines of the liberal arts are central to the ideal of academic freedom, as well, because the liberal arts, by their nature, require free rein to pursue truth wherever it may lead.\u00a0 As a result, they provide an intellectual bulwark for academic freedom.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Of course, to succeed in business it\u2019s really best actually to try, Broadway musicals notwithstanding.\u00a0 But, then again, success in the liberal arts demands effort as well.\u00a0 Those universities, like the University of Wisconsin\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/academeblog.org\/2018\/03\/26\/newfield-on-the-proposed-cuts-at-stevens-point\/\">Stevens Point<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/academeblog.org\/2017\/11\/04\/no-longer-superior\/\">Superior<\/a>\u00a0campuses, that in a vain search for economy and relevance seek to follow\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.weeklystandard.com\/shoshana-weissmann\/rubio-we-need-more-welders-and-less-philosophers\">Sen. Marco Rubio\u2019s injunction<\/a>\u00a0that \u201cwe need more welders and less philosophers\u201d by eliminating liberal arts majors, irresponsibly shortchange both their students and the public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My title\u2013at least the first part\u2013comes from a\u00a0Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway musical\u00a0of the 1960s, now I suspect embarrassingly dated (although it\u2019s been revived as recently as 2011), that I adored in high school.\u00a0 But this post comes in response to an\u00a0op-ed piece\u00a0published two days ago in the\u00a0Dallas Morning\u00a0News\u00a0by two University of Dallas philosophy professors.\u00a0 Their essay [&hellip;]\n&hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/how-to-succeed-in-business-without-really-trying-major-in-philosophy\/\" class=\"more\">learn more&rarr;<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":44197,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[8489],"coauthors":[11733],"class_list":["post-44196","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business-politics","tag-philosophy"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How to succeed in business without really trying?
