Beyond utility?Tocqueville on liberal education, and education for liberty Ewa Atanassow (bio) I begin by thanking Alan Kahan for presenting in such clear terms the position, which I will both build upon and beg to disagree with. I take as my point of departure two statements he has made. Let me recall them: Liberal education will be attacked, and defeated, wherever it is not perceived as essential to this goal [of procuring a well-paid job] – in…
