He argues that liberal education, in which knowledge is pursued for its own sake as well as for the advantages it may bring, should remain the core of university studies, although he emphasizes that natural science and the technologies, as well as the traditional art subjects, may be studied liberally in the university. In the course of a rich and broad-ranging discussion, he singles out parasensical discourse a kind of curious verbal play, neither sense nor nonsense, designed to inculcate attitudes, not convey information as a symptom of the crisis in the university today. Camerons trenchant analysis of it and of the serious ills that it represents is particularly relevant to an understanding of the controversy surrounding modern university education.</p><p>The four lectures in this volume were originally delivered to mark the sesquicentennial of the University of Toronto and the 125th anniversary of Saint Michaels College. The occasion, Cameron writes, gave me a chance to consider the nature and spirit of the institution within which I have spent most of my working life.</p><p>At a time when the value of university education is being questioned, Cameron provides a fresh perspective on the universitys purpose, its form, and its future.
