4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent historical perspective and still relevant today,
This review is from: Knowledge for What?: The Place of Social Science in American Culture. (Paperback)
Very interesting book for it's historical perspective (it's based on lectures given in 1938). Lynd argues that values must be considered in academics, and that values should guide our choice of research. He also calls on tenured faculty to take the initiative to oppose those forces which would constrain the freedom to work on issues that would improve human lives. Excellent read and still relevant today.
