摘要：The transmission of knowledge requires trust, which is a moral relationbetween teacher and student. This relation requires the suspension ofdemocratic/individualistic suspicion against the idea of intellectual rankand authority. Ultimately this is for the sake of an end that is affirmableby the lights of democratic individualism: the intellectual independenceof the student. But education cannot itself be a democratic enterprise if itis to sustain deference to the idea of truth, as it must.
