Academic Tasks and Magics - The History of a Misunderstanding
Summary
The methodology of modern Sciences and Arts is based on the idea of an analysable world. This means a self-limitation to analysis and the authority of experts. Expertship dominates academic thinking: strong in analysis and critics, weak in moulding social environment. Originally that was different: In the first half-time of occidental university, academics were valued as reflective and formative crack-force of their social environment. A short view on the history of ideas illuminates the loss-process of the early academic main-tasks during the last fivehundred years.
