Content introduction:

From the perspective of political philosophy and ethics, the author deeply discusses those who attack knowledge by paying attention to the essence of human nature, love, beauty and identity, as well as academic scandals, identity politics, multiculturalism and academic corporatization. Daniel Cottom expounded the above topic from a new angle while thinking that hostility to education cannot be simply regarded as a response to barbarism, stupidity and nihilism.

The book quotes a lot of materials from literature, philosophy, art, movies and other fields, and discusses the inference that hostility to education is an extremely complicated phenomenon in history and contemporary American life. This book really explores a topic that has continued to modern society since the Renaissance, that is, which is better or worse, liberal arts education and practical education. Facing Mill's utilitarian view put forward in the19th century, Cotom directly opposed the hostile and useless view popular among thinkers in recent decades, and advocated that education must be "useless" if it is to be worthy of the name.
