Abstract

Without claiming moral equivalence, Erwin James Casareno makes the case that the contemporary mechanisms for enforcing ideological conformity in academia resemble nothing so much as the institutional logic once used to enforce theological orthodoxy during the Inquisition. While the Inquisition was far more brutal, both institutions successfully imposed a regime of knowledge control that constrains intellectual freedom. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
