The Image of Thought: Literature as a way of thinking

艺术提供重要思维方式的想法最近在某种程度上已经从人们的视野中消失了。未能认识到艺术作为独特的思维方式的价值，挑战我们思考和感受的能力，使社会陷入贫困。学术活动可以为重新认识这一价值奠定基础。同样，学者也有责任与普通社会进行沟通。为此，该项目将包括努力制作报纸评论，宣传通过学术形成的思想，并通过组织公共论坛促进文学的作用。

The idea that the arts offer important ways of thinking has, to an extent, recently fallen from view. A failure to recognise the value of the arts as distinct modes of thought, which challenge us to think and feel, impoverishes the community. Scholarly activity can build foundations upon which renewed recognition of this value becomes possible. So too, academics have a duty to communicate with the general community. To this end, this project will include the endeavour to produce newspaper reviews propagating ideas developed through scholarship, and the promotion of the role of literature through the organization of public forums.
