Philistines, barbarians and the Death of IntellectThe philistines, according to some, are running rampant throughout the academy. Andrew Brennan poses the question: If radical challenges to the status quo are an essential component of a healthy culture and vibrant democracy, and if intellectuals have an important part to play in the generation and testing of new ideas, then the question arises: Is Australia running out of intellectual resources? If the Universities have become places in which there is no space for intellectual freedom, then where will the resources be found for building the culture of innovation that is needed if we are to face the challenges that lie ahead?Sponsored by Monash University. There are 4 events in this wide-ranging philosophy series - have a look at the other three events too: Why Asian Philosophy?, Philosophers on Love (sold out), Time and Politics. Information Date: 31 August 2008 Time: 10:00AM - 11:00AM Venue: ACMI 1
