Talk:Liberal arts education

message: :The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 
The result of the move request was: not moved. RM is not the best place for discussions about rescoping, as it's an either/or thing. That said, the rescoping discussion has merit and I don't want this closure to prematurely end it. (closed by non-admin page mover) Sceptre (talk) 20:21, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

replies: text:  @Johnbod, @In ictu occuli: We should not only move, but also make the article about liberal arts in general. Then, we should devote a section to Liberal arts education. I might also consider splitting off this article into Liberal arts. Mast303 (talk) 22:35, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: I propose having an article on liberal arts (in general) and another article specific to liberal arts education. Or we could have a section on liberal arts education. Mast303 (talk) 22:42, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text:  I would support a new article on the liberal arts in general. That doesn't require doing anything to this one. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 22:46, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a moving target! We already have Trivium and Quadrivium, between them covering the 7 arts in the classical and medieval idea of the term, plus articles on all the much longer list of subjects that might be covered by the modern idea of the term (see the article). I'm not sure anything else is needed. Anyway, as you say, only a link or two would be needed here. On the other hand, the lead could do with an expansion clarifying the difference between the older 7 and the much wider modern range. That's all in the article now, but somewhat buried in the dense 2nd section.  The very last thing we need imo is a listy series of short paras explaining everything given in the article for modern areas: The modern use of the term liberal arts consists of four areas: the natural sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities. Academic areas that are associated with the term liberal arts include: Life sciences (biology, ecology, neuroscience)Physical science (physics, astronomy, chemistry, physical geography)Logic, mathematics, statistics, computer sciencePhilosophyHistorySocial science (anthropology, economics, human geography, linguistics, political science, jurisprudence, psychology, and sociology)Creative arts (fine arts, music, performing arts, literature) Johnbod (talk) 23:21, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
