The Specialized Society

Více o knize

The book critically examines the detrimental effects of increasing specialization on individuals and society, arguing that both elite and non-elite education has become overly narrow. This focus on fragmentation hampers the development of well-rounded individuals, resulting in a collective of specialists who struggle to transcend their areas of expertise. The author highlights the failure of educators to lead a shift away from this trend, making the work relevant for scholars and students across various fields, including social psychology, philosophy, and economics.
