Exiles from Eden: Religion and the Academic Vocation in America
ISBN: 9780195179736 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this thoughtful and literate study, Schwehn argues that Max Weber and several of his contemporaries led higher education astray by stressing research--the making and transmitting of knowledge--at the expense of shaping moral character. Schwehn sees an urgent need for a change in orientation and calls for a "spiritually grounded education in and for thoughtfulness." The reforms he endorses would replace individualistic behavior, the "doing my own work" syndrome derived from the Enlightenment, with a communitarian ethic grounded in Judeo-Christian spirituality. Schwehn critiques philosophies...

ISBN: 9780195306958 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The American university has embraced a thorough secularism that makes it increasingly marginal in a society that is characterized by high levels of religious belief. The very secularization that was supposed to be a liberating influence has resulted in the university's failure to provide leadership in political, cultural, social, and even scientific arenas. In The Decline of the Secular University, C. John Sommerville explores several different ways in which the secular university fails in its mission through its trivialization of religion. He notes how little attention is being...

By the century's end, it was widely regarded as the nation's, and the world's, leading institution of higher education.

Their book is based on rich and revealing archival materials, interviews, and personal experience.

European Universities from the Enlightenment to 1914
ISBN: 9780198206606 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 380 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. European Universities from the Enlightenment to 1914 is an authoritative and unique work. Though patronized by a social elite, universities before 1914 were not ivory towers, but reflected the political and social conflicts of their day. Anderson combines chapters on national university systems (including Britain) with a searching and far-ranging discussion of more general themes. The book is an essential contribution both to modern European history, and to understanding the background of contemporary university problems.
