<p><b>Why should economists study philosophy and literature? How are contemporary art and fiction related to learning? What might an educational ideal for our age look like?</b></p><p><i>Senses of Knowing</i> is a celebration of broadened horizons. Inside, Lars Strannegård explains how aesthetic experiences can be key to understanding others, interpreting big-picture developments in the light of established fact, and making sense of the present by tracing its causes in the past.</p><p>Education, of both heart and mind, is the engine that drives human progress and social life. That&rsquo;s why we mustn&rsquo;t reduce our schools and seats of higher learning to little more than places where short-term labour market demands are satisfied. On the contrary, we must recognize our educational institutions as the foundation on which any empathic and democratic society depends.</p><p>*</p><p><b>Lars Strannegård</b> is a professor of business administration, and has been the president of the Stockholm School of Economics since 2014.</p>
