Since the Enlightenment, knowledge has been a matter of discovery through effort, and ?knowledge for its own sake? a taken-for-granted ideal underwriting progressive education as a process which not only taught ?for? and ?about? something, but also ennobled the soul. While this ideal has not been explicitly rejected, in recent decades there has been a tacit move away from a strong emphasis on its centrality, even in Higher Education. The authors address the values that inform knowledge production in its present forms, and seek to identify social and cultural factors that support these values. Against the background of increasingly restrictive conditions of academic work, the first section of this volume offers incisive critiques of Higher Education, with examples drawn from Australia and New Zealand. The second group of chapters considers how academics have viewed, and have tried to adapt to, present circumstances. The third section comprises papers that consider epistemological issues in the generation and promulgation of knowledge. The chapters in this volume are indicative of the work that needs to be done so that we can come to comprehend ? and perhaps try and improve ? our relationship to learning and knowledge in the 21st Century. This timely book will be of particular interest to workers in higher education; it should also inform and challenge all those who have concerns for the future of the intellectual life of our civilization. 410 0$aAt the interface/probing the boundaries ;$vv. 50. 606 $aKnowledge, Sociology of 606 $aPhilosophy 615 0$aKnowledge, Sociology of. 615 0$aPhilosophy. 676 $a306.42 686 $aMS 6950$2rvk 701 $aCrouch$b Mira$f1932-$01477451 701 $aMorley$b Ian$01477452 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782111203321 996 $aKnowledge as value$93692627 997 $aUNINA
