The Humanities Are a Way to Fill the Moral Vague
Jung had this idea which I really love. It's his idea of how the self first of all is a transcendent object. For Jung the self was the totality of the individual across time and space. And then you can imagine that that transcendent object also has to interact with you and the world moment by moment. So it would be partly, and that would be partly revealed by then following a meaningful pathway. If we thought of the humanities as directed towards that we can see why they might be one way to fill the moral void that grows so easily in people's lives.
