"The Knowledge Most Worth Having "represents the essence of
education at the University of Chicago--faculty and students
grappling with key intellectual questions that span the humanities,
while still acknowledging the need to acquire a depth of knowledge
in one's chosen field. The papers collected here were delivered
during an often-heated conference at the university in 1966, and
include contributions from such scholars as Northrop Frye, Richard
McKeon, and, of course, the dean of the college, Wayne Booth
himself. Taken as a whole, they present a passionate defense of
liberal education, one that remains highly relevant today.
