Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Humanizing of Knowledge' is a compelling philosophical inquiry into the necessity of making specialized academic and scientific information accessible to the general public. James Harvey Robinson argues that for modern discovery to have a meaningful impact on civilization, it must be 'humanized'-translated from technical jargon into a form that connects with the everyday lives and interests of the common person. He critiques the rigid compartmentalization of intellectual life and warns against the dangers of knowledge remaining locked within the ivory tower.
