One of the major problems in intellectual life is separating the wheat from the chaff, that of distinguishing between sound analytical essays from distorted,
illogical, misguided, or simply emotional writing. As someone once wrote, the role of the intellectual is to keep his head when all others are losing theirs. Nowadays with the rise of feminism, multiculturalism, postmodernism, deconstructionism, and political correctness on American campuses the traditional idea of an open forum for the free exchange of ideas is under attack and only certain ideas are acceptable, others cannot be mentioned. Also there is much misinformation as well as distortion and misinterpretation of information.
