Items related to Culture and the Radical Conscience
Debates on culture, politics, and the university have hardly abated since the 1960s when the radical assault on the authority of culture first challenged the classical conception of higher education with imperious demands for relevance and ideological correctness. Since then, campus unrest on the part of students has given way to a radicalized faculty characterized by contempt for high culture, fetishization of pop culture, and increasing absorption by feminism and identity politics.

About the Author:
Eugene Goodheart is Edytha Macy Gross Professor of Humanities at Brandeis University.
Review:
"A highly cogent, powerfully reasoned statement in defense of culture against its latter-day detractors."
—Philip Rahv "A lively, tough, and learned brief for 'high culture' as the indispensable foundation of a university education. [Goodheart's] book deserves the scrupulous attention of everyone troubled by the seemingly irreversible degradation of standards in American intellectual life today."
—Pearl K. Bell, The New Leader
