Μεταφέρω επιστολή αναγνώστη περί την εκπαίδευση και την δικαιοσύνη στην Εκόνομιστ της 21 Μαρτίου 2024. Διερωτώμαι, δεν είναι η άποψη αυτή προέκταμα μιας θεωρίας δικαιοσύνης – μιας θεωρίας στον αντίποδα των εξισωτικών ή φιλελεύθερων εξισωτικών θεωρών.
“Schumpeter wrote about how universities are ‘torn between their responsibilities to learning and social justice’ (February 24th). This tension underlies the crisis in higher education. Learning and knowledge have been central to universities since the Middle Ages, but the idea that they have a mission to further social justice is new and it is a misunderstanding. Although the definition of knowledge (justified true belief) has remained remarkably constant and is not political, interpretations of what constitutes justice vary widely and are fundamentally political and cultural.
These interpretations range from Plato’s ‘Republic’ to Augustine’s city of God, Edmund Burke, Karl Marx and John Rawls. Even the Hindu caste system can be considered an expression of justice, based on a metaphysical worldview that involves reincarnation and a soul receiving a just incarnation based on behaviour in previous lives.
The pursuit of knowledge can unite diverse cultures and political views, but any push for social justice is, by nature, culturally and politically narrow. Universities can resolve many of their woes by returning to a core mission based on knowledge.”
