An intellectual history of theoretical innovation in the Anglo-American Humanities

该项目对人文教育的争论做出了重要贡献。人文学科的后结构主义理论受到一些人的攻击，认为它是时髦的，缺乏价值，而另一些人则认为它支持批判性反思和进步的政治和伦理价值观。该项目探讨了“理论时刻”在多大程度上代表了早期欧洲大学形而上学向人文学科课程中心的回归。该项目将研究人文学科理论的这些转变，并表明这些转变与当代关于教与学的辩论高度相关。

This project makes an important contribution to the debate over humanities education. Post-structuralist theory in the humanities is attacked by some as modish and lacking in values, and defended by others as supporting critical reflection and progressive political and ethical values. The project explores the degree to which the 'moment of theory' represents the return of earlier European university metaphysics to the centre of the humanities curriculum. The project will study these shifts in theory in the humanities and show these to be highly relevant to contemporary debates about teaching and learning.
