''In Praise of Learning'' is a 1975 studio album made by Music/HenryCow and Music/SlappHappy. It is both bands' 4th album and the 2nd to come out of this collaboration after Music/DesperateStraights. Despite this, it's treated more as a Henry Cow album than a Slapp Happy album due to being more similar to the former's music and bearing the sock that was on ''Leg End'' and ''Unrest'' (which was absent on ''Desperate Straights'').
To this day it is seen as a shining example of the Rock in Opposition movement, along with Music/UniversZero's ''Heresie'' as well as Henry Cow's later album ''Western Culture''. "War" was covered by Music/TheFall on ''Middle Class Revolt''.
