ABSTRACT
Training ‘breadwinners’ and producing ‘scholars’ may not be polar opposites, for they have aims and enemies in common. There may be as much which unites as divides an education with utilitarian goals and one with the aim of initiation into ‘forms of knowledge’. Nevertheless, there is a divide, and if some criticisms apply to both, others will be applicable only to one or the other. In this chapter I focus on the ‘breadwinning’ approach. I refer to the form it has assumed in modern times as the ‘technicist’ approach.
