520 1 |a "Torn between the competing forces of scholarship as a profession and scholarship as a calling - between Babel and the Ivory Tower - the modern academic faces a dilemma: should she or he try to preserve the soul of higher education by cultivating the Muse of personal knowledge, or renounce the Muse and imitate a technician?" "Having come to the end of his own scholarly career, W. David Shaw felt out of place in the technological realm academia has become - where scholars increasingly model their work on that of scientists rather than that of the classical thinkers of the past, and where original ideas often only alienate scholars, rather than enrich them. Thus, Babel and the Ivory Tower is as much a eulogy as an elegy."--Jacket
