Raphael Sassower

A Sanctuary of Their Own

Intellectual Refugees in the Academy

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

What is at stake in compromising the Enlightenment ideals of a liberal education with new educational policies engendered by a neo-liberalized, global marketplace? Richly grounding his arguments in the social philosophy of European and American intellectuals, Raphael Sassower explores Western culture's long-standing ambivalence toward 'the life of the mind.'
