A Sanctuary of Their Own Intellectual

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.

Raphael Sassower is professor of philosophy at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs.
