The proper training of the Humanities is our best weapon for producing



problem-solvers rather than solving problems. If they are acknowledged as



imaginative activism, rearranging desires, building the possibility of



constructing self and world differently as objects of knowing, producing



the intuitions of democracy outside of the demands of electoral politics;



the power and difficulties of the task emerge. To implement this is an



uphill road, since the priorities for developing societies seem to be



located elsewhere. My paper will consider this problem as practically as



possible, considering, along the way, such typical criticisms as



individualism, mere liberalism, etc. I will be attentive to the fact that



this Center has successfully studied ?Development? for half a century.















*Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak* is University Professor at Columbia



University. Her latest books are *Other Asias* and *An Aesthetic Education



in An Era of Globalization. *She has 5 honorary doctorates. She is the 2012



laureate of the Kyoto Prize in Art and Philosophy. She trains teachers and



guides ecological agriculture in western Birbhum district in West Bengal,



India.















*Rajeev Bhargava *is Director of the Centre for the Study of Developing



Societies.
