Readings, Bill: The University in Ruins

Tracing the roots of the modern American University in German philosophy and in the work of British thinkers such as Newman and Arnold, Readings argues that historically the integrity of the modern University has been linked to the nation-state, which it has served by promoting and protecting the idea of a national culture. But now the nation-state is in decline, and national culture no longer needs to be either promoted or protected.
