Dear Willard, One must admire your admiration for Pelikan, and your
quotation of the idea of collegiality and collaboration. But, of whom
with whom? And to what end(s?) A proper skepticism, which I take to
be part of one's Humanist training, would not rely as a guide, not
really, on a definition of the enterprise of the University (pace
newman/Pelikan) that has at its core the notion of Original Sin, and
the Fall of Man. These ideas do not consort well with a universe that
has been traced back to within 300,000 years of an explosion that we
must think originated from a condition in which all was contained in a
"spaceless/time" no larger than the period that follows at the end of
this sentence: viz.: punkt! .
Where is the original sin in that period that exploded? And why should
these walking agglomerations that our bodies/minds have risen or fallen
to such a condition? That wont help. Neither will the mathematics of
the computer speeding up the Tantric prayer wheels that are counting
till the end of this era of the expansion of the universe...
I suspect, Willard, that we have to take a better view of the history of
this failing enterprise, the university, which is seems sometimes today
no more than a procession of professors. Jascha K
