      This treatise on the question of knowledge challenges readers to re-examine the protective barriers built to isolate "science" from other forms of enquiry, and each particular science from its neighbours. The author argues that philosophy itself must stop being treated as an obscure speciality, and take up its role as the key to understanding. The text will be of interest to those concerned with the plight of education and institutionalized knowledge, and the fate of learning in the future.
