Scientia is experience & engagement with world via the senses - like the 'passion' described here. Related to nature & empiricism.
Does seem to be a re-envisioning of the old problem of public or private life, action or contemplation, statesman or philosopher.

Framing it as passion vs moderation seems unhelpful to me.
-
I think campuses have allowed certain behaviours over time to be normalised. All they need is to set sensible policies applied consistently.
-
That would be good but that would entail overturning the whole system of thinking which led to this in the first place
-
The 'system of thinking' would be due to the lack of political & idealogical diversity, correct?
-
And the shift towards postmodernism in the academic left which I wrote about recently?
-
I thought that was covered by the lack of diversity.
-
Yes, kind of, but I'm really thinking of a large-scale academic shift in thinking which has also permeated culture more widely.
-
The dominance of this is certainly manifested in a lack of diversity of ideas but I tend to see it more in terms of a big cultural shift.
