Reading Augustine presents concise, personal readings of St.
Augustine of Hippo from leading philosophers and religion scholars.
The looming crisis in higher education appears to be a matter of
soaring costs and crushing student debt, but the problem is
actually much deeper. It is a crisis of soul; a question of the
very purpose of learning and the type of people that our
educational system produces. Today, in the age of academic
hyper-specialization and professional knowledge, the moral and
spiritual purposes of learning have been eclipsed by a shallow view
of career and success. On Education, Formation, Citizenship, and
the Lost Purpose of Learning turns to the influential figure
Augustine of Hippo to explore how he saved the liberal arts at the
end of the Roman Empire and how his inspiring vision can do the
same for higher education today. It offers a roadmap for reviving
the soul of education - presenting concrete ways that the
intellectual practices and economic enterprise of learning can lead
once more to a fulfilled life of knowing God and loving others.
