The Truth Of Things : Liberal Arts And The Recovery Of Reality

Attribution
Marion Montgomery
Publication Details
Book, Spence Pub. Co, 1999
Description
Montgomery, who detected the consequences of this flight from reality long before open attacks on the liberal arts tradition became common, points out that other critiques of contemporary higher education refuse to address the underlying philosophical issues and so partake of the very errors they criticize. With the vision of a poet and the precision of a philosopher, Montgomery unmasks the fallacy that education is justified only by its production of a conspicuous material reward, and he points the way toward a recovery of true education.

Attribution
Zachary Karabell
Publication Details
Book, Basic Books, 1998
Description
By exploring the myriad perspectives of these conflicting expectations Karabell concludes that a radical democratization of higher education is not only inevitable, it is desirable, and it will require dramatic changes in the structure and presumptions about education beyond the high school level.Topping $175 billion a year, spending for American higher education will join health care and welfare as one of the top national issues, yet there is precious little real or broad-based understanding of the issues and social forces at work.
