Andrea Bettini<\/a>, from RaiNews24<\/a>, interviews Daniele Archibugi<\/a> on his latest essay, “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice: Advice, Tricks, and Spells for Aspiring Scholars”<\/a><\/em> published by Luiss University Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

A narrative and a guide to navigating the rules and rituals of the academic and scientific community.<\/p>\n

“Those who observe everything and do nothing. This is how Adam Smith defined philosophers and, by extension, scholars in general. <\/em>They are university professors, engineers, and researchers working in corporate laboratories, and scholars in public institutions and non-profit organizations.<\/em><\/p>\n

Aspiring to become a scholar is a desire for many, but there are always many contenders and few available positions.<\/em><\/p>\n

How can one make their way in this universe? Giving free rein to one’s ingenuity is a necessary condition, but often not sufficient. <\/em><\/p>\n

An apprentice scholar must also learn how to apply to a prestigious university and request a scholarship, how to benefit from a PhD and choose the right mentors, how to submit their work to authoritative journals, and how to navigate conferences. This book explains, in a direct and irreverent way, the implicit rules that govern the republic of knowledge.” <\/em><\/p>\n\n
