Vices of the Learned

Sjang ten Hagen
4.9/5 (17285 ratings)
Description:Why are professors still warning their students against dogmatism, prejudice, pedantry, and other centuries-old vices? What explains the persistence of these scholarly vices across the ages? With case studies from medieval Europe to twenty-first century America, Vices of the Learned offers a panoramic overview of qualities, habits, and inclinations that scholars at various times and places saw as detrimental to their work. Innovative is the volume’s longue durée approach.
