The Idea of a University

Klappentext The issues that John Henry Newman raised--the place of religion and moral values in the university setting! the competing claims of liberal and professional education! the character of the academic community! the cultural role of literature! the relation of religion and science--have provoked discussion from Newman's time to our own. Zusammenfassung Originally published almost 150 years ago! five parts of "The Idea of a University" - "University Teaching" and four selections from "University Subjects" - are reproduced here! along with five essays by contemporary scholars exploring the present day relevance of Newman's themes.
