What explains the peculiar trajectory of the university and liberal
education in India? Can we understand the crisis in the university
in terms of the idea of education underlying it? This book explores
these vital questions and traces the intellectual history of the
idea of education and the cluster of concepts associated with it.
It probes into the cultural roots of liberal education and seeks to
understand its scope, effects and limits when transplanted into the
Indian context. With an extensive analysis of the philosophical
writing on the idea of university and education in the West and
colonial documents on education in India, the book reconstructs the
ideas of Gandhi and Tagore on education and learning as a radical
alternative to the inherited, European model. The author further
reflects upon how we can successfully deepen liberal education in
India as well as construct alternative models that will help us
diversify higher learning for future generations. Lucid, extensive
and of immediate interest, this book will be useful for scholars
and researchers interested in the history and philosophy of
education and culture, social epistemology, ethics, postcolonial
studies, cultural studies and public policy.
