A groundbreaking manifesto for people searching for the kind of insight on leading, thinking, and living that elite schools should be—but aren’t—providing.
As a professor at Yale, Bill Deresiewicz saw something that troubled him deeply. His students, some of the nation’s brightest minds, were adrift when it came to the big questions: how to think critically and creatively, and how to find a sense of purpose.
Excellent Sheep takes a sharp look at the high-pressure conveyor belt that begins with parents and counselors who demand perfect grades and culminates in the skewed applications Deresiewicz saw firsthand as a member of Yale’s admissions committee. As schools shift focus from the humanities to "practical" subjects like economics and computer science, students are losing the ability to think in innovative ways. Deresiewicz explains how college should be a time for self-discovery, when students can establish their own values and measures of success, so they can forge their own path. He addresses parents, students, educators, and anyone who's interested in the direction of American society, featuring quotes from real students and graduates he has corresponded with over the years, candidly exposing where the system is broken and clearly presenting solutions.
William Deresiewicz was a professor at Yale until 2008. He is the author of the landmark essays “The Disadvantages of an Elite Education” and “Solitude and Leadership” and is a frequent speaker on campuses around the country. A contributing writer for The Nation and a contributing editor for The New Republic and The American Scholar, he is the author of A Jane Austen Education: How Six Novels Taught Me About Love, Friendship, and the Things That Really Matter.
出版当时就很轰动,想看了很久的书。Personal, incisive, thoughtful and bold. 和How to Raise an Adult 中对精英大学和学生,家长的批判遥相呼应。美国高等教育的问题有很多书,看得越多,越可以对Elite大学祛魅。这本中尤其让我觉得有意思的是从历史变化角度的分析,对大学和教授的意义,和对几种不同高等教育学校之间的比较。
评分The author is pretty good at knowing his readers; and he do want to conquer the readers mind. To this end, the narrative is meticulously honed. That's dangerous. We may lose our vigilance for evaluating arguments; and agree with him, forgetting what we learned in our education: being critical to what seems to be critical.
评分精致的利己主义者的说法是不对的,他们是遵循社会的规范(或游戏规则)而努力回应社会体制设计思路的期待,并致力于成为中产阶层的成功人士、精英。这些优秀的常春藤羊群才是社会稳定与统一的整合者,他们的表率性也是整个社会在理所当然期待的东西
