Description

Explore the evolving identity of higher education with Being a University by Ronald Barnett. This book examines how the concept of the university has shifted from its medieval origins through the scientific, corporate, and entrepreneurial eras. Instead of viewing the university as a static institution, this text treats it as a changing idea that adapts to different historical and social contexts. Ronald Barnett investigates what the future holds for higher education by analyzing the development of the university concept. He explores the tension between different ideas, such as space and time or being and other contending concepts, to understand the potential paths ahead. This work is a deep look at the philosophical foundations and the changing nature of academic institutions. Whether you are studying the history of education or looking toward the future of academic structures, this Routledge publication provides a clear map of how the university has changed and where it might go next. It serves as an essential resource for understanding the conceptual shifts that define modern higher learning.
