Universities must transmit technically exploitable knowledge. That is, they must meet an industrial society's need for qualified new generations and at the same time be concerned with the expanded reproduction of education itself. In addition, universities must not only transmit technically exploitable knowledge, but also produce it. This includes both information flowing from research into the channels of industrial utilization, armament, and social welfare, and advisory knowledge that enters into strategies of administration, government, and other decision-making powers, such as private enterprises. Thus, through instruction and research the university is immediately connected with functions of the economic process. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Not being very familiar with the German student protest movements in the 60s, the first few essays, which deal with the orientations, tactics and future of such movements, were hard to get into, but nonetheless worthwhile.
Habermas really shines, though, in the fourth, fifth and sixth essays, discussing the role of science and technology in the modern world; the transition from the traditional societies that was engendered by changing relations between institutions and techno-scientific production; Weber's concept of "rationalization" and Marcuse's critique of it; and the role that Habermas' famed concept of "undistorted communication" must play in ensuring that modern democratic societies do not succumb to the technocratic temptation to do away with questions of "practice" (i.e. politics and ethics) in deference to questions of "technics."
