Reviews
This text is characteristic of Fish's recent writings on the role of the academy, whereby he skilfully reframes the debate to reveal and question the hidden presuppositions of both sides of the university controversy, which is becoming increasingly complex due to conflicting views of the university's purpose., "[This book] is invariably smart, stimulating, and provocative. It is filled with insights and crackles with verve. It is a joy to take in." --Texas Law Review "Particularly clear and engaging prose--a far-from-common gift in such a high-powered thinker." --Rocky Mountain News "Fish's lively polemic skewers the popular perspective." --Publishers Weekly "Is deeply committed to teaching and to higher education and relishes presenting his views with zest and wide-ranging scholarship... is a great debater and is ready to scold all who confuse the issues, including faculty, students, trustees, and members of Congress... this work is recommended for public and academic library readers who enjoy a lively interchange." --Library Journal, "[This book] is invariably smart, stimulating, and provocative.

It is a joy to take in."--Texas Law Review "Particularly clear and engaging prose--a far-from-common gift in such a high-powered thinker."--Rocky Mountain News "Fish's lively polemic skewers the popular perspective."--Publishers Weekly "Is deeply committed to teaching and to higher education and relishes presenting his views with zest and wide-ranging scholarship... is a great debater and is ready to scold all who confuse the issues, including faculty, students, trustees, and members of Congress... this work is recommended for public and academic library readers who enjoy a lively interchange."--Library Journal "Exhilarating, the thought polished and white hot, this book makes the reader think and often wince, especially teachers like me who have aged out of the intellectual into the easy and congenial. A close reading ofSave the Worldshould purge much nonsense from classrooms."--Sam Pickering, author ofLetters to a Teacher "Stanley Fish's new manifesto calls for a major revolution in public education. Many will disagree with this provocative book. None will be wise to ignore its impact."--Richard A. Epstein, Hoover Institution "This is a passionate defense of "Scholarship as a Calling" like the inspiring lecture of that name by Max Weber. But, of course, Fish is irrepressibly livelier than Max Weber."--E. D. Hirsch, author ofThe Knowledge Deficit, andThe Schools We Need "In this wise and witty book, Stanley Fish offers thoughtful suggestions for making university teaching more effective and more beneficial for our students. It is a powerful argument for learning and teaching from one of our generation's most provocative academic leaders."--John T. Casteen III, President, University of Virginia "Exhilarating, the thought polished and white hot, this book makes the reader think and often wince, especially teachers like me who have aged out of the intellectual into the easy and congenial. A close reading ofSave the Worldshould purge much nonsense from classrooms."--Sam Pickering, author ofLetters to a Teacher "Fish offers a vigorous defense of that abstemious understanding of the teacher's task, laced with numerous examples of its egregious violation."--First Things: The Journal of Religion, Culture, and Public Life

Synopsis
What should be the role of our institutions of higher education? To promote good moral character? To bring an end to racism, sexism, economic oppression, and other social ills? To foster diversity and democracy and produce responsible citizens? In Save the World On Your Own Time , Stanley Fish argues that, however laudable these goals might be, there is but one proper role for the academe in society: to advance bodies of knowledge and to equip students for doing the same. When teachers offer themselves as moralists, political activists, or agents of social change rather than as credentialed experts in a particular subject and the methods used to analyze it, they abdicate their true purpose. And yet professors now routinely bring their political views into the classroom and seek to influence the political views of their students. Those who do this will often invoke academic freedom, but Fish suggests that academic freedom, correctly understood, is the freedom to do the academic job, not the freedom to do any job that the professor so chooses. Fish insists that a professor's only obligation is "to present the material in the syllabus and introduce students to state-of-the-art methods of analysis. Not to practice politics, but to study it; not to proselytize for or against religious doctrines, but to describe them; not to affirm or condemn Intelligent Design, but to explain what it is and analyze its appeal." Given that hot-button issues such as Holocaust denial, free speech, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are regularly debated in classrooms across the nation, Save the World On Your Own Time is certain to spark fresh debate--and to incense both liberals and conservatives alike--about the true purpose of higher education in America., What should be the role of our institutions of higher education?
