Abstract | Abstract This paper argues that Northrop Frye's concept of academic freedom is based on an epistemological dualism that separates knowledge from experience. The former comprises a set of unchanging myths that the critic must apprehend by attuning himself to the objective laws of his discipline. The latter constantly changes and has no bearing on knowledge whatsoever. This distinction severely limits Frye's account of academic freedom by excluding the following fundamental aspects of knowledge: experience, value judgments, teacher-student dialogue, rational argument, interdisciplinary inquiry, and any critical interrogation of his own scheme of understanding. As a result, Frye unduly limits the academic freedom of both faculty and students. His account is inadequate and should be rejected. |
