	The Social Affairs Unit - Web Review: The Autodidact: Someone who thinks for themselves? Or someone who can be rather ...
		An autodidact is a person who has largely educated himself or herself and whose views of the world are largely self-inspired.
		In our time, autodidacts have been less important and less visible than previously, a result of the movement of what is regarded as true knowledge and belief to the exclusive, or almost exclusive, province of the university and of research and learning conducted there.
		Autodidactism also had its dark side, since an intellectual universe created from one's own variegated readings and preferred opinion often lacked a moral component, and often went with ethical solipsism.

	Clines, Confessions of an Autodidact
		Carol Newsom commented that the discipline of literary criticism in Hebrew Bible studies did not yet appear to be a 'mature' one, in that so many of its leading practitioners were 'autodidacts', not trained in schools of literary studies or comparative literature.
		It surely cannot be worse than being compelled by the academic system, as is the case in some European countries, of adopting and defending the positions of one's teachers, more or less for the whole of one's life.
		I just want to emphasize that it has to be healthy for the discipline as a whole if new ideas and approaches are being brought into the discipline by scholars who have branched out beyond the boundaries of their own training and formed unstructured and untutored relationships with other disciplines.
