Crisp and illuminating . . . well worth reading.Wall Street Journal 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 hes 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 longoverdue debate about the future of American education, The Marketplace of Ideas argues that twentyfirstcentury professors and students are essentially trying to function in a nineteenthcentury system, and that the resulting conflict threatens to overshadow the basic pursuit of knowledge and truth.
