Deliberately meditated scholarship is enabled by university teaching and collegial work.

Evidence

The university and my pedagogic work with two generations of first-class students and excellent colleagues has made possible the kind of deliberately meditated and analyzed study that this book contains, which for all its urgent worldly references is still a book about culture, ideas, history, and power, rather than Middle Eastern politics tout court. — Edward W. Said, Orientalism, 28
