| Popis: | Contemporary academic professionalism undercuts the moral imperative of the land-grant tradition in America. The author is primarily concerned with assessing the impact of post-modern modes of thought on both the rise of academic professionalism and the decline of civic engagement at the heart of the land-grant mission. A revitalization of the land-grant tradition, he argues, requires the rebuilding of the social personae of the academic professions not on the logic of commercial free agency or through the spiritually empty traces of theory, but in the language of ethics and through moral praxis. |
