Reflections on Shils, Sacred and Civil Ties, and Universities
Tradition and Discovery 27 (1):7-12 (2000)
| Abstract | This review essay, concerning three collections of Shils’ essays published in 1997, focuses on Shils’ assertion of the importance of charisma or the sacred in the ties that bind a secular society together and enable it to function as it does, asks why Shils did not accept Polanyi’s views about intellectuals, and refers to aspects of the sacred attributed to universities and to our academic traditions | |||||||||
