With higher education around the world in a period of extreme
flux, this volume explores its underlying philosophy, a core
element of the ongoing debate. Offering a diverse range of
perspectives from an international selection of renowned scholars
of higher education, the book is full of imaginative insights that
add up to a substantive contribution to the discussion.
As universities attempt to adapt to a new environment
characterized by stiff international competition, networked remote
learning, burgeoning student numbers and comparative performance
assessment, how we conceptualize the purpose and ethos of our
higher learning institutions is more important than ever. This
publication features a multitude of distinctive approaches that
illuminate potential solutions to the complex issues universities
must grapple with in these uncertain times. Rather than espousing a
singular philosophical approach, the editors have assembled views
from across the spectrum and from differing national contexts,
representing a multidisciplinary response to the situation. This
collection of papers aims thus to inspire fresh developments in the
way we think about the complexities of and options available to,
higher education.
