En el contexto global de la crisis de las humanidades, y en el marco local del posconflicto en Colombia, este libro se propone defender el lugar de las humanidades en la educación superior, como una herramienta fundamental que le permita a los estudiantes afrontar problemáticas como la manipulación mediática, la posverdad, la polarización política y el énfasis en la instrumentalización del conocimiento. En una sociedad que necesita reconstruirse a sí misma aprendiendo de su historia, esta obra reflexiona sobre las condiciones que se deben tener en cuenta para una mayor incidencia de la educación superior, a través de las ciencias humanas, en la formulación de propuestas orientadas a la educación para la paz.
