Description

John Wyatt traces a European tradition in the philosophy of higher education, and argues that it is being unjustly neglected. Newman's "The Idea of the University" sets the agenda for the six other European intellectuals discussed here whose "key texts" in higher education were first written or presented as addresses between 1930 and 1947 in times of European crisis and war. Jose Ortega y Gasset, Karl Jaspers, Max Horkheimer, F.R. Leavis, Paul Tillich and Miguel de Unamuno were each actively engaged in the academic profession, ranging across sociology, politics, economics, history, literature, metaphysics and theology. They were all writing and studying in the kind of institutions they aimed to justify or to criticize. They each wrote about Universities of considerable antiquity and all challenged the pervading consensus of both political and academic power, yet they represent a conservative intellectual stance. In our own times of flux in higher education, their voices continue to challenge, and can make a legacy and a living contribution to the construction of a philosophy of higher education, and to the workings of its institutions.
