"The portrait that emerges from this account is human, all too human, but the author's respect for Wittgenstein is never in doubt. Though brief and written so that it can be understood by those with no previous knowledge of Wittgenstein's philosophy, this book is an important contribution to our understanding of the man and of the development of his thought."—Walter Kaufmann

Unfathomed Knowledge, Unmeasured Wealth: On Universities and the Wealth of Nations

<p>Dust Jacket is in Very Good condition.</p>

Open Court Pub. Co

This work opens with a development of the notion of "Unfathomed Knowledge", which Bartley makes clear by using it to explain such recent scientific advances as the development of drugs for the treatment of AIDS, and by showing its implications for such far-flung fields as the Marxist theory of alienation, the sociology of knowledge, patent law, and morality. Unlike other critics of higher education such as Allan Bloom, Bartley is not concerned primarily with the transmission of tradition. Rather, he contends that the university is gravely hampered in its prime goal of contributing to the growth of knowledge. Claiming that "epistemology (ie the study of the growth of knowledge) is a branch of economics (ie the study of the growth of wealth)", Bartley charges that Western universities find themselves in a grave intellectual depression induced by the economic principles around which they are organized. Bartley describes how outdated assumptions and institutions virtually force some of the most idealistic and high-minded of men into protectionist "intellectual cartels", which inhibit innovation and lead to immoral, uncritical, and untruthful behaviour on the part of their members.
