<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span lang="EN-GB">ABSTRACT: </span></strong><span lang="EN-GB">A decimation of the liberal arts is under way. </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;" lang="EN-GB">The study of the Humanities has steadily declined globally in the past decade along with a dire combination of external and internal crisis. On the one side, the dwindling financial support and</span><span lang="EN-GB"> </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;" lang="EN-GB">the ascendance of business and technology</span><span lang="EN-GB"> </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;" lang="EN-GB">are playing a vital role in this ruin. On the other, </span><span lang="EN-GB">the very soul of arts and culture is increasingly starved of the core values of liberal thought. </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;" lang="EN-GB">The School of Humanities is being plagued by the rise of victimhood culture, crackpot cultural-Marxist theories, dysfunctional pedagogical models, and an unprecedented weakened sense of freedom of expression.</span><span lang="EN-GB"> Extricating the Humanities from this quagmire is no easy task, but it has to be done presently. For the supremacy of science and technology is no bill of rights for any nation. In light of that, this paper attempts to afford a brief glimpse of the main reasons why </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;" lang="EN-GB">the Humanities have fallen from grace</span><span lang="EN-GB">. Thereafter, concerning the potentially </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;" lang="EN-GB">self-sabotaging factors</span><span lang="EN-GB">, <em>seven salutary warnings</em> will be issued as pertinent to departmental decision-making. Chiefly, not limiting the analysis of human nature or affairs to the intersectional triptych of class, race and gender, would signify a little progress. But more drastic changes have to be made: the Field of </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;" lang="EN-GB">Humanities </span><span lang="EN-GB">needs, among other things, to get rid of the grand ideologies of redemption and to mitigate institutional stiffness, including liberal-conservative thinkers in the curricular material, pursuing a politically balanced faculty, and recollecting the Socratic maieutic method of learning and teaching.</span></p>
