Barbarism of Specialism*
The specialist and his small circle of coexperts are inclined to define their own little
field(i.e. their specialized theories and
methods) as the final reality or as the
representation of total reality. (Zejderveld,
Abstract Society). Thus, he has a tendency
toward arrogance inspite of his naivete in all
matters outside his own limited field.
Typically, he feels detached from the larger
communal, social context in which he lives
and become solely devoted to the
advancement of his profession.
