The author argues that despite common misconceptions, knowledge is not a source of arrogance but rather a key to understanding the wonders of the world. Furthermore, the author believes that learning should not be confined to the ivory tower but should be used to benefit society. To this end, the author critiques the tendency of some scholars to focus on trivial pursuits rather than on matters of substance. However, the author also acknowledges that learning can be a force for good, illuminating the path to a more just and equitable world. Ultimately, this book is a passionate defense of the power of learning and a call to arms for scholars to use their knowledge to make a positive impact on the world.
