Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Based on our workshop in Toronto, Ont., on May 23, <https://www.mdpi.com/about/announcements/16816>, we would like to invite you all to expand your papers, to offer an introductory definition of how you view or define the Humanities, and then to submit it for our planned volume on transculturality in the Humanities. We want to learn and explore how the various related disciplines can find a shared language, contribute to the same fundamental concerns, and look at the human being’s past and present, and possibly manage to develop a Venn Diagram where we all can discuss the critical issues concerning us all; from medicine to architecture, from literature to the visual arts, and from history to natural sciences. All this comes as a critical juncture now with the onslought of AI, which creates massive paradigm shifts and challenges us all to review the essence of the academy and the structure of the university as educational institutions. In a way, the time might have come to return to medieval and ancient concepts of education, which did not perceive the student as an individual that can be easily compartmentalized and tucked away into intellectual silos. In this way, we aim to develop a new theoretical and analytic basis for the future university, robustly interdisciplinary and collaborative across the various disciplines.
