In the old modern university, the ideal was that in the search for knowledge, the researcher should be objective. This approach to scholarship is a Deistic corruption of the Judeo-Christian God. It treats the ideal of the scholar as the Marvel character known as the Watcher. The impassive but accurate observer of events does not... Continue Reading
