Description

In Reform For An Enlightenment Education, Allen Thiher examines the fundamental subjects that form the basis of higher education in the twenty-first century. Drawing on his distinguished 40-year university career, Thiher provides a deep look at the role of rationalism in contemporary culture. He argues that the best aspects of our modern world stem from the unfettered rationalism of the Enlightenment. This book addresses both the general reader and the scholar, offering a provocative critique of the current state of learning. Thiher suggests that today's education system is failing to produce students with the enlightened sensibilities required to lead good and ethical lives. Instead, he observes a trend where institutions focus on short-term utilitarian aims rather than long-term intellectual growth. By exploring these themes, the text serves as a call to rethink how we approach higher learning. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the direction of modern education and the preservation of Enlightenment values in a changing world.
