This paper puts forward an alternative interpretation by shifting the fulcrum of the corpus from the Lectures to the …

The article explains how this was paralleled by the emergence of extensive research in the scholarship of education to redefine a “pure pedagogy” more suited to the managerial role of the corporate university. At the same time, anoth…
