Stanley Fish recently made a tongue-in-cheek endorsement of Carly Fiorina for Secretary of Education. OMG! Strange bedfellows indeed -- a philosopher, detached from the real world and an entrepreneurial opportunist thoroughly immersed in it. Fish takes on the people he calls "Solutionists" who decry that despite hundreds of years of innovation and technological progress, the 21st century classroom is basically just like the classroom in Plato's dialogues: eager students sitting at the feet of a master teacher -- a condition he fully endorses: "As far as I am concerned, that's the good news and it is news Carly Fiorina was broadcasting last week." Alas, the good old days that Fish yearns for existed only as a Platonic ideal.
