Publisher's Synopsis
The Ideal of Universities by Adolf Brodbeck is a comprehensive exploration of the purpose and function of universities in society. The book examines the historical development of universities, tracing their origins back to medieval Europe, and explores the different models of universities that have emerged over time. Brodbeck argues that universities should be dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge and the advancement of human understanding, rather than simply serving as training grounds for specific professions or industries. He also discusses the role of universities in fostering critical thinking and intellectual independence, and the importance of academic freedom in this process. The Ideal of Universities is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the role that universities play in modern society, and is essential reading for anyone interested in higher education or the pursuit of knowledge.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
