The Idea of the University

Histories and Contexts

Herausgeber: Bhattacharya, Debaditya

Beschreibung

This volume traces the historical transformations of the university in medieval Europe and explores current debates on its existence and sustenance in a neoliberal India. It challenges the liberal-humanist 'ideal' of academic exchange to inquire into long befuddled debates on the true nature of the modern university.
