520 |a Science, Democracy, and the University is a significant contribution to the field of curriculum studies, linking to the work of philosophers such as Max Planck, Donna Haraway, Max Weber, and Jacques Derrida to make the case for rethinking the reason of the university. John A. Weaver outlines what a Diogenes, or real, university might look like and what values it might promote over that which the current university system peddles. He also uses Bernard Stiegler's work to focus on how we can educate the young to become adults rather than consumers. Touching on subjects such as ecology, algorithms and data, and ethology, Science, Democracy, and the University champions the need for self-reflexivity and to challenge methodocentrism in science. The book features fascinating insights into how we can foster a vibrant future for the young through our academic institutions.
