Homeless in the House of Intellect invites creation of an academic department of education in the arts and science faculties of Ameri-can universities. It explains the rationale for disinterested study of education, independent of professional concerns. From long experience, Robbie McClintock speaks to all engaged in educative effort. In this book, he asks a simple question about universities and identifies a flaw in their pursuit of knowledge about education. He shows how intellectual losses result and suggests what universities can do to correct the failing. He exemplifies the correc-tive through the concept of formative justice, which deals "not with public goods, but with human potentials." Universities can streng-then their leadership in education by providing opportunities at the graduate and undergraduate levels for the academic study of educa-tion through departments with important subfields, similar to those in political science.
