Description
Summary:In this paper authors aim to explore and explain the place and significance of social sciences and humanities education in today’s military education. By analyzing the impact that rapid progress of technological sciences has made on entire societies, the authors assert that problems and challenges of the modern world are even more pronounced and dangerous in the military realm, despite the military being necessarily separated from society in virtually all aspects, including education. Authors recognize several important and perilous problems in the context of the military which are produced by technological breakthroughs, and conclude that the optimal approach to solving these problems is systematic and genuine education in social sciences and humanities at modern military schools. The authors conclude that members of the military are not just in need of education in social sciences and humanities, but that it is owed to them by their institutions and their societies, due to the highly specific mission of the military and demands that society has from them.
