Reconfirming his preeminent role as a public intellectual, the late Edward Said attempted to save the legacy of humanism from multiple challenges in this series of lectures delivered shortly before his death. Of course, under Said's treatment, humanism doesn't remain static, with Said insisting on the need of humanism to recognize the "Other" as a source for critical reevaluation of the "Self." Said considers the relationship of humanism to other fields of intellectual endeavor, discusses the duties of the humanist in the post-September 11th world, and explores the contributions of philology in promoting a trained openness to texts that can be "the royal road to humanistic understanding." Also included is an appended coda, discussing "The Public Role of Writers and Intellectuals." Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
