Description

Explore the historical transformations and modern challenges of higher education with The Idea of the University: Histories and Contexts. Published by Routledge, this volume examines the fundamental concept of the university through a historical lens, beginning with its origins in medieval Europe. Rather than simply defending existing structures, this book investigates whether the very concept of the university needs to be rearranged. It moves beyond standard liberal-humanist views of academic exchange to address complex debates regarding the true nature of the modern institution. The text provides a deep look into the sustenance of academic life, specifically exploring current debates within the context of a neoliberal India. This work serves as an essential resource for scholars and students interested in the evolution of academic institutions. It is designed to work alongside its companion volume, The University Unthought: Notes for a Future, providing a comprehensive look at the past and potential future of higher learning.
