| Papers | |||
| The End of Education | |||
| The history of this multiplication of disciplines is, of course, also a history of increasing specialization by scholars, and of the transformation of university or college teachers into professionalized, narrowly focused researchers who also happen to teach, specialists whose professional success and standing depend in large part on the degree of their identification with some particular subdiscipline or subsubdiscipline. | |||
| Confesiones de un universitario | |||
| Lo que hace falta actualmente para que un país progrese y se sitúe en el grupo de cabeza, es que haya talentos emergentes, muchos jóvenes que piensen por cuenta propia y que estén preparados para lanzarse a innovar tanto en la teoría como en la práctica. Y, desde luego, el camino que hoy día se les traza —y de hecho se les obliga a seguir— no conduce a estos objetivos. | |||

| Virtuous Leadership | |||
| Ignoring the podium on the small stage, Alexandre Havard walked to the front of the room and stood inches from the front row. He paused, looking at the students gathered before him. “Nobody can say, ‘Leadership is not for me,’” he said. “Leadership is not a technique; it is a real life ideal. It’s about becoming who we are: Real human beings.” | |||

| Papers | |||
| The Reading of the Unliteraty | |||
| The unliterary reader never intends to give the words more than the bare minimum of attention necessary for extracting the Event. Most of the things which good writing gives or bad writing fails to give are things he does not want and has no use for. | |||
| El lenguaje y la racionalidad | |||
| Para atreverse a pensar, a hacerse realmente cargo de los argumentos del contrincante en lugar de desestimarlos, hace falta no sólo rigor intelectual, sino quizás ante todo coraje, la valentía de seguir la verdad a donde nos lleve, reconociendo que eso muchas veces puede significar dejarnos convencer por otros. | |||
