Not Even Trying by Bruce G. Charlton

The Corruption of Real Science

In this thought-provoking exploration of modern academia, the author delves into the decline of genuine intellectual pursuit and the rise of mediocrity within universities. The book argues that the current academic system prioritizes superficial metrics and bureaucratic processes over true scholarly inquiry and creativity. By examining the cultural and institutional shifts that have led to this state, the author calls for a return to authentic intellectual engagement and a reevaluation of the values that drive educational institutions today.
