Abstract

ABSTRACT:In Retaking College Hill: The Adults Are Back, Walter Donway takes us on a tour of a university that has been consumed by low standards and cancel culture. The dean is attempting to protect the university's standards but is being opposed at every turn, and there is a plot to fire him. A small group of his supporters try to help him. They face opposition of multiple types, including violence, each step of the way and must skillfully manage the situation. This is a novel of ideas—showing us how philosophy got the university into this mess, and how clear thinking and powerful ideas—such as those of Ayn Rand—can help reverse the trend.

恢复美国大学的理性和宽容

摘要：在《夺回大学山：成年人回来了》中，Walter Donway带我们参观了一所被低标准和取消文化所吞噬的大学。院长试图保护大学的标准，但遭到了反对，有人密谋解雇他。他的一小群支持者试图帮助他。他们在每一步都面临着包括暴力在内的多种形式的反对，必须巧妙地处理局势。这是一部思想小说，向我们展示了哲学是如何让大学陷入困境的，以及清晰的思维和强大的思想——比如艾恩·兰德的思想——是如何帮助扭转这一趋势的。
