"The 21^(st) century witnesses the rivalry between globalization and counter-globalization, the rapid development of automation and AI and the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic. This article discusses the what, why and how of humanities education in 21st century as general education. I argue that the humanities education as general education in the 21^(st) century is of supreme importance. And it needs a major''paradigm shift.''I further indicate that the humanities education as general education aims at interpreting the meaning of the universe, the world and life. This new direction of humanities education is in line with the learning of mind-and-heart in traditional East Asian thought which aims at cultivating the''mindfulness.''I also suggest two possible ways of teaching the humanities courses as general education, namely, (a) a combination of the''etic''and''emic''approach and (b)''role play''as a pedagogical method in the classroom." |
