There is so much that can be done, and woefully little that has been done.

These are the hope of Lazarus rising and the rebirth of the Renaissance man. Yet in academia they are pushed aside as not having focus or depth.</blockquote> You basically described me. Though I don’t think specialization is what has killed the education system, I do think there is a lack of interdisciplinary work done (and I don’t mean there should be more “Interdisciplinary Studies” courses for undergrads). Just wanted to cross-post my comment:
