The Idea of the University: A Reader, Volume 1 is a unique compilation
of selected works of the major thinkers who have contributed to the
discourse on the idea of the university in the German, English,
American and French traditions, dating from the establishment of the
University of Berlin in 1810. Readings include excerpts from Kant and
Humboldt in the German tradition of Bildung through to Jaspers,
Habermas and Gadamer; Newman, Arnold, Leavis and others in the British
tradition; Kerr, Bok and Noble, among others, in the American
tradition; and Bourdieu, Lyotard and Derrida in the French tradition.
Each reading is prefaced with a brief editor’s explanatory note. The
Idea of the University: A Reader, Volume 1 provides a comprehensive
account of the university, and is matched by a second volume of
original essays on contemporary perspectives.
