In this seminal work, Kenneth Minogue challenges contemporary educational philosophies that reduce the university to a mere social tool. The author defends the importance of academic autonomy and the disinterested pursuit of truth, arguing that the institution's vitality is compromised when academic inquiry is confused with pragmatic or ideological activities.
The book offers a profound analysis of the crisis in modern universities, contrasting their current function with their historical legacy. Featuring a new introduction by the author, this text is essential reading for understanding debates on academic freedom and the role of higher education in today's society.
