This provocative and challenging book questions how people think
about what universities should seek to do and how they should
respond to the grave problems of our age. It addresses issues such
as: What is wisdom? Ought universities to seek, promote and teach
wisdom and what would this involve? Does it mean we need a
revolution in the aims and methods of academic inquiry? What
implications would the pursuit of wisdom have for science, for
social inquiry and the humanities, for education? Is it reasonable
to ask of universities that they take up the task of helping
humanity learn how to create a wiser world? Is there a religious
dimension to wisdom? What can non-academics do to encourage
universities to take wisdom seriously? Would the pursuit of wisdom
be possible given that universities are increasingly subjected to
commercial pressures? With contributions from leading experts in
various fields Wisdom in the University is essential reading for
all those interested in the future of universities and philosophy
of education. This book was previously published as a special issue
of London Review of Education
