First American Printing. Light Usage Spine Label With Wear Browning And Small Edge Chips Not Affecting The Lettering. Front Flap Of Red Dust Jacket Attached To Front Free Endpaper. Title Page With Blindstamped Name Of Otto F. Kraushaar President Of Goucher College. A Major And Pessimistic Criticism Of Intellectuals Aka Leaders In Every Serious Field Particularly The Previous Fifty Years. A "Printing And The Mind Of Man" Title #419 Remarkable Not Just For Its Intelligent And Articulate Criticism Of Their Moral Failings In What They Did Or Failed To Do But Because It May Also Be Taken As An Indictment Of The Entire Intellectual Establishment And The Classes Which Populate It. It Demonstrates Not Just Their Particularized Faults And Deficiencies As Intellectuals But Also Their Lack Of Leadership In Public Discussion Of What Is Important For Society. He Shows The Lack Of Capability And Moral Fiber Of Intellectuals For The Task They Have Implicitly Chosen For Themselves That Is To Articulate What Are The Basic Purposes And Goals Of Individual Achievement And Social Life; He Implies They Lack The Particular Skills And Abilities And Knowledge And Fail To Provide Oversight And Programs And Efficiencies And Competencies And Budgets Essential To The Best Undertakings Of Government Institutions Businesses Social Associations And Even Families. The Intellectuals Have Failed Not Just To Provide Moral Leadership But Also To Undertake A Proper Moral Education Of Society So That Society Itself Can Self Correct. It Is Difficult To Find A Commercial Writer In English Who Can Discuss So Perceptively And At Such Length How The Members Of Society As A Whole Are So Utterly Hapless At The Moral Business Of Life. Modern Elites Would Have You Believe That He Is Talking Only About The "Opinion" Leaders Which Dominate The Media; But He Is Talking As Well About The Leaders In Business Education Medicine Civil Service Law Civic And Philanthropic Organizations And Academic Leaders As Well Including Social Sciences Engineering Science And All The Other Departments Of The Great Universities Which Blithely Claim Immunity From Findings That They Are Ethically Impaired.
