The publication of The Marketplace of Ideas has precipitated a
lively debate about the future of the American university system:
what makes it so hard for colleges to decide which subjects are
required? Why are so many academics against the concept of
interdisciplinary studies? From his position at the heart of
academe, Harvard professor Louis Menand thinks he's found the
answer. Despite the vast social changes and technological
advancements that have revolutionized the society at large, general
principles of scholarly organization, curriculum, and philosophy
have remained remarkably static. Sparking a long-overdue debate
about the future of American education, The Marketplace of Ideas
argues that twenty-first-century professors and students are
essentially trying to function in a nineteenth-century system, and
that the resulting conflict threatens to overshadow the basic
pursuit of knowledge and truth.
