James L. Jarrett is Professor of the Philosophy of Education at the University of California, Berkeley.

A favor, en contra, lo bueno, lo malo, lo justo, lo injusto, lo verdadero, lo falso. La mayor parte de nuestras producciones culturales da cuenta de ello, y el deplorable estado de nuestra cultura puede comprenderse como uno de sus...
