The review article focuses on the humanities in higher education in the digital age. From the mission of education, with its commitment to the professional and human formation, the digital agora is considered to be both a scenario and a mediation for the humanities in higher education. The technological society poses a few challenges that can be examined in studies of the end of the 20th century and early 21st century. In addition, the situation of education and humanistic education in this new scenario opens some paths, which are determined as horizons for their walk in this new digital habitat. Autonomous and collaborative learning, multiculturalism, critical thinking, and planetary responsibility, is a piece of knowledge that can be strengthened with the mediation of ICT.
