 | The Culture of Education by Jerome S. Bruner
In a masterly commentary on the possibilities of education, the eminent psychologist Jerome Bruner reveals how education can usher children into their culture, though it often fails to do so. Applying the newly emerging cultrual psychology to education, Bruner proposes that the mind reaches it full potential only through participation in the culture--not just its formal arts and sciences, but its ways of perceiving, thinking, feeling, and carrying out discourse.

 | Philosophy of Right by Georg W. Hegel, S. W. Dyde, T. M. Knox
Among the most influential parts of the philosophy of G.W.F. Hegel (1770-1831) were his ethics, his theory of the state, and his philosophy of history. The Philosophy of Right (Grundlinien der Philosophie des Rechts) (1821), the last work published in Hegel's lifetime, is a combined system of moral and political philosophy, or a sociology dominated by the idea of the state. Here Hegel repudiates his earlier assessment of the French Revolution as a a marvelous sunrise in the realization of liberty. Rejecting the republican form of government, he espouses an idealized form of a constitutional monarchy, whose ultimate power rests with the sovereign. AUTHOR: Georg W. Hegel, S. W. Dyde, T. M. Knox

 | The Western Canon by Harold Bloom
The debate goes on. Bloom attempts to salvage what's left of the literary canon with this tome of tradition. In the fight against political correctness and ideological literary study on campus, the author asserts that who reads must choose, since there is literally not enough time to read everything, even if one does nothing but read...Do I again go in search of lost time with Marcel Proust, or am I to attempt yet another rereading of Alice Walker's stirring denunciation of all males...? In addition to essays that examine Dante to Dostoevksy, Dickinson to Dickens, there's a list of Bloom's favorites, including Cervantes, George Eliot, Borges, and Joseph Mitchell. AUTHOR: Harold Bloom
