Higher Education and the Growth of Knowledge - Michael (University of Chieti Segre - Bog

This book sketches the history, from ancient times to the present, of higher education in parallel to the development of science. It explores the historical tensions between the aims of higher education and those of science, arguing that the university, although today the universal home of science, carries traces of different past cultural, social, and didactical traditions that make it not the ideal place for the development of science.
