The Knowledge Most Worth Having represents the essence of education at
the University of Chicago—faculty and students grappling with key
intellectual questions that span the humanities, while still
acknowledging the need to acquire a depth of knowledge in one’s
chosen field. The papers collected here were delivered during an
often-heated conference at the university in 1966, and include
contributions from such scholars as Northrop Frye, Richard McKeon,
and, of course, the dean of the college, Wayne Booth himself. Taken as
a whole, they present a passionate defense of liberal education, one
that remains highly relevant today.
