PASSAGE - II
Philosophy means “love of wisdom”, and philosophy in this sense is what men must acquire if t he new powers invente d by technicians, and handed over by them are to be wielded by ordinary men and women; without plunging mankind into an appalling cataclysm. But the philosophy that should be a part of general education is not the same thing as the philosophy of specialists. Not only in philosophy, but also in all branches of academi c study; there i s distinction between what cultural value has and what is only of professional interest. Historians may debate upon what happened to Sennacherib’s unsuccessful expedition of 698 B.C., but those who are not historians need not know the di f ference between it and hi s successf ul expedition three years later. Academic education should aim at an overall study of available knowledge.
