In this modern age where technology is overly emphasized, the significance of "humanities," which fundamentally questions what it means to be human, is being re-evaluated.

Yes. Technological innovation pushing forward while lacking ethical perspectives and historical insight can sometimes invite runaway situations that threaten human survival.

At the end of the pursuit of efficiency and convenience, we need to deeply reflect on what aspects of our "humanity" we might be losing.

Exactly. The ability to think multidimensionally and critically through the liberal arts is the only way to tackle questions that have no correct answers.

For example, to see through the biases hidden in AI algorithms and evaluate the impact they have on social structures, the knowledge of philosophy and sociology is indispensable.

Yes. Human resources who can not only write code but also imagine in what social context that technology will be used are highly sought after.

The universal questions posed by classical literature and art should surely become the pillars of our spirit across the ages, shouldn't they?

Yes. Precisely because the world is overflowing with superficial information, the time for deep contemplation to discern the essence of things is increasing its importance even more.

Also, fostering "empathy" toward others with different cultural or historical backgrounds is an important role of humanities.

Yes. Because in an increasingly divided world, what leads beyond conflict to reconciliation is not logical calculation, but sincere appeals to emotion.

It is likely that humanity can advance in the right direction only when the sturdy compass of humanities is added to the powerful engine of science and technology.

Yes. The intellect to master technology and the sensibility to resonate with others. That sublation (Aufheben) is the foundation for nurturing a fertile culture.
