Why does Weber to set the campus seek apart from society as an ivory tower?

Weber views the campus as an "ivory tower" to emphasize its role as a space for intellectual pursuit and critical thinking, distinct from societal pressures and practical concerns. This separation allows scholars to explore ideas freely and cultivate knowledge without immediate commercial or political influence. However, it also raises questions about the relevance of academic work to societal needs and the potential disconnect between academia and the real world. This tension reflects the broader challenges of balancing scholarly independence with social responsibility.
