<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Universities must transmit technically exploitable knowledge. That is, they must meet an industrial society's need for qualified new generations and at the same time be concerned with the expanded reproduction of education itself. In addition, universities must not only transmit technically exploitable knowledge, but also produce it. This includes both information flowing from research into the channels of industrial utilization, armament, and social welfare, and advisory knowledge that enters into strategies of administration, government, and other decision-making powers, such as private enterprises. Thus, through instruction and research the university is immediately connected with functions of the economic process.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Jürgen Habermas is a German philosopher and sociologist in the tradition of critical theory and pragmatism.
