- W6876537 abstract "Even though Schuman and Estess disagree on what is appropriate for publication in the Forum for Honors, they are both correct. Schuman offers an orthodox view, describing marks of good scholarship and suggesting topics on Honors education suitable for scholarly work. Estess, perhaps because he writes in response to Schuman, is more mischievous and proposes that the Forum for Honors should for a while accept no articles on Honors education and in this interim should become a journal of interest to the liberally educated reader. In my opinion, both these opinions should be incorporated in the editorial policy of this journal. Exercising a form of editorial license, I wish to comment on selected points made by Schuman and Estess, underscoring some and elaborating others. In distinguishing between the abstract and the particular, Schuman touches the pivotal difference between the NCHC Report and the Forum for Honors. While the particularities of an Honors Program may well be described in an article prepared for the Forum, they need be instrumental to establishing a general, abstract conclusion. This is to say that an article in the Forum should have a theoretical moment. In the thicket of the particular an issue needs to appear, an argument develop, a conclusion come forth. The appropriate response to a list of particulars is, What else do you do? The appropriate response to an article in the Forum is, You are right/wrong for the following reasons. Schuman also rightly points out that the literature on Honors education is still sparse. The seminal works on Honors education for the most part still need to be written. Beyond the handbooks published by NCHC, a standard corpus of literature on Honors education is difficult to assemble. And yet I agree with Schuman that, even though the terrain of Honors education is substantially undescribed, exploratory expeditions seem to head for features already familiar. Hackneyed accounts in a movement as young as Honors education are, at the very least, surprising. This leads me to emphasize a final point from Schuman's article, his invitation that we study certain aspects of Honors education. Even though necessarily limited, Schuman's list of topics is evocative. Let me complement it with my own additions. Some fairly standard philosophical questions bear upon the practices of Honors education: questions of distributive justice since Honors programs allocate more of limited educational resources to a selected group; questions of the organization of knowledge since Honors programs typically select some subjects as basic to intellectual formation; questions of the morally good since Honors programs implicitly or explicitly advocate a version of human excellence. But the specific contents of Schuman's list of topics and these additions to it are not the important point. Rather the fundamental claim is that the scope of subjects related to Honors education is broader than might be suggested by the extant literature on Honors education or the previous contents of the Forum. A point of contact between Schuman and Estess is the question of what kind of articles should be published in the Forum. Schuman asks for important articles on Honors education. Estess replies that important articles on Honors education are, first of all, not likely to be written by the members of NCHC and, second, when written such articles are likely to be forwarded to more established journals. At the risk of being cute, let me try to accommodate both these positions with the following claim: articles about Honors education that appear in well-established journals are likely not to be important. If for no other reason, the Forum for Honors is by default the location for significant thoughts about Honors education. Rather than cute, my point here may well be cantankerous. There is a problem with scholarship in American higher education, namely too much of it is expected. …" @default.
