"Academic education should aim at giving, as a corrective of the specialization which increase of knowledge has made unavoidable, as much as time will permit of what has cultural value in such studies as history, literature and philosophy." (Bertrand Russell, "Philosophy for Laymen")

This sentence is too hard for me to understand. Could you please explain it?

Thank you.
