Sommario/riassunto |
|
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. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Extrait : ""Les brutales persécutions que j'ai eu à subir de la part de certains coryphées de la médecine officielle, à cause de mon intervention en faveur du magnétisme animal et du somnambulisme, ont atteint, en 1900, un tel degré d'acuité que, pour reposer mon système nerveux ébranlé, j'ai dû entreprendre une série de voyages, et ainsi j'ai pu trouver l'oubli et continuer mes études."" |
