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.' He shows how and why
this historical legacy contributes to today's confusion over goals
and values in contemporary education. He sheds new light on many of
today's controversies, showing why the demands of technology and a
global economy increase society's need for 'educational
sanctuaries' of liberal education, intellectual 'play' and social
consciousness that may better serve the diverse and often
conflicting needs of a changing world.
