SynopsisFew issues have sparked more heated debate than the state of American higher education and the definition of its cultural underpinnings. Yet, amid the ideological feuds about political correctness, multiculturalism, relativism, speech codes, the Western canon, and race and sex on campus, are we missing the fundamentals? In Dogmatic Wisdom noted intellectual historian and cultural commentator Russell Jacoby illuminates how the education and culture wars have misled America, diverting public attention from the real problems corroding education and society.
