ABSTRACT
In this chapter, I have made an argument for Nietzsche's idea of community. However, a community cannot be one without the integrity of individuals. When academic integrity is seemingly under threat due to tangible malpractices in higher education, it becomes more urgent to speak out as such irregularities are not only contextual human fallibilities, but they speak to a much deeper crisis in education that now confronts us through academic delinquency. Moreover, this chapter focuses specifically on academic writing as an act of communication and, therefore, a community of humans would be involved in reading and reflecting about what they encounter. Invariably such a community would endorse, critique or vehemently disagree with claims being made and for which they in turn offer counterclaims. After all, this is how a community of scholars should function which makes academic writing in and about educational research highly communitarian and by implication a dignified activity.
