Taking on the challenge of the postmodernists of politics, Kenneth Minogue argues forcefully and persuasively that the current dominant philosophies of education rest upon a mistake. The belief that the university is society's handmaiden is confronted by a view of the university as an institution with an independent vitality and function.

Explores the intelligentsia's love affair with social perfection and reveals how that idealistic dream is destroying exactly what has made the inventive Western world irresistible to the people of foreign lands. This book looks at how Western morality has evolved into mere "politico-moral" posturing about admired ethical causes.
