Why pursue a university education? Some people answer in terms of
the purpose of getting a good job. Others respond in terms of the
aim of earning more money. Still others answer in terms of the goal
of promoting social justice. Drawing on C. S. Lewis’s belief that
the purpose of life is the experience of perfect happiness, Stewart
Goetz explains Lewis’s simple but overlooked view that a person
should pursue a university education for the pleasure that comes
from higher-level intellectual activity. Goetz not only sharpens
our understanding of Lewis’s life and work in higher education,
but also leads us to question why we attend, study, teach, or
research at a university.
