Ronald Barnett: Realizing the Ecological University, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"This book charts the university's entanglement with eight mega-ecosystems - knowledge, learning, persons, social institutions, culture, the economy, the polity and nature - and offers principles through which universities can imaginatively explore possibilities. This book sets out, in broad terms, what it is to realise the idea of the ecological university. Barnett draws together relevant contemporary scholarship from philosophy, social theory, comparative higher education, ethics, and theology. He advances thinking in each of the ecosystems the book looks at and develops a particular form of the philosophy of higher education, drawing on examples to bring the whole text to life"-- Provided by publisher.
