The Idea Of A University Defined And Illustrated

Bag om The Idea Of A University Defined And Illustrated

The Idea of a University Defined and Illustrated is a book written by John Henry Cardinal Newman, which was first published in 1852. The book is a collection of lectures that Newman delivered during his time as the first rector of the Catholic University of Ireland. In the book, Newman explores the purpose and nature of a university, arguing that it should be a place of intellectual inquiry and pursuit of knowledge for its own sake, rather than a mere training ground for specific professions. He discusses the importance of a liberal education, which he defines as an education that cultivates the mind and prepares individuals to think critically, rather than just memorize information. Newman also emphasizes the importance of the university as a community, where students and faculty can engage in intellectual and moral development together. He argues that the university should foster a sense of common purpose and shared values, and that it should be a place where students can learn not only from their professors, but also from each other. Throughout the book, Newman draws on his own experiences as a scholar and educator, as well as his deep knowledge of the history of education in Europe. The Idea of a University Defined and Illustrated is widely regarded as one of the most important works on the philosophy of education, and it continues to be studied and debated by scholars and educators around the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
