In this book, philosopher Harry Brighouse and Spencer Foundation president Michael McPherson bring together leading philosophers to think about some of the most fundamental questions that higher education faces. Looking beyond the din of arguments over how universities should be financed, how they should be run, and what their contributions to the economy are, the contributors to this volume set their sights on higher issues: ones of moral and political value. The result is an accessible clarification of the crucial concepts and goals we so often skip over-even as they underlie our educational policies and practices.?The contributors tackle the biggest questions in higher education: What are the proper aims of the universityWhat role do the liberal arts play in fulfilling those aimsWhat is the justification for the humanitiesHow should we conceive of critical reflection, and how should we teach it to our studentsHow should professors approach their intellectual relationship with students, both in social interaction and through curriculumWhat obligations do elite institutions have to correct for their historical role in racial and social inequalityAnd, perhaps most important of all: How can the university serve as a model of justiceThe result is a refreshingly thoughtful approach to higher education and what it can, and should, be doing.?
