Last week I was at the Vision 97 ceremony, at which Paul Konrad Liessmann was awarded... I read in the materials that he writes a lot about knowledge and education, so maybe I should read something...
The times when there were polyhistors are gone... they knew a few information about a lot of things. Nowadays we have specialists who know almost everything about almost nothing...
What is better? Or can we even ask if is something better? Either way I still have respect for all people who are such Fachidiots in their field of work and yet they have vast knowledge about almost every science there is... but in my life I met only three of such people.
