By drawing upon a wide variety of perspectives and areas of research (from literary studies to philosophy, from cultural criticism to the history of ideas), we hope to surpass the now dominant rhetoric of crisis (as it features, for example, in George Steiner\u2019s essay \u2018Humanities \u2013 At Twilight?\u2019), not only by devising new horizons for a humanistic-literary culture (C\u00e2ndido de Oliveira Martins) and envisioning literary studies in a Post-literary age (David Damrosch), but also by advocating an ethical turn for the humanities (Peter Levine and Jos\u00e9 Pedro Serra) \u2013 seen as an education toward autonomy (Richard Wolin), as well as by reconsidering the very notion of crisis within the humanities (Marjorie Perloff and Ant\u00f3nio Sousa Ribeiro). By doing so, and whilst it does not claim to offer definitive answers, the volume nevertheless strives to open up new fields of debate and innovative perspectives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">&#8211; The editors<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n<p><strong>Editors\u2019 Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rethinking the Humanities, Ricardo Gil Soeiro and Sofia Tavares (University of Lisbon, Portugal)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Part I.
