Love the Questions: University Education and Enlightenment (2009) by Ian Angus
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Angus evaluates the current state of the university in Love the Questions: University Education and Enlightenment.Rather than a detailed overview, this slim book provides Angus' reflections on a host of significant questions in contemporary higher education.He argues that selfenlightenment and the philosophical heritage of the university must be defended against corporatization and commodification.In his efforts to explain how the university has changed in recent decades, Angus examines the changing social function of the university.In doing so, he addresses links between education and global capitalism, technology and science, growing corporate influence, issues of public and private funding, the commodification of education, and the manner in which knowledge is understood.At the heart of his arguments is a historical interpretation of what the university has traditionally been and what it has become.Comparing the contemporary university with its 1960s counterpart, Angus' book "is an attempt to explain what has changed" (p.10).Attempting to avoid "another lament about the fate of the university," Angus promises "a realistic assessment of the state of the contemporary university and the forces that would undermine it" and he optimistically provides "a sense of what can be saved, reinvented, or discovered of its potential" (pp.10-11).The work has two major themes.The first theme is self-enlightenment, defined as "the struggle for self-knowledge" (p.24), and "the ability to think meaningfully about one's experience that allows a deeper judgment of the current situation" (p.19).Enlightenment includes "all of those attempts that humans make to form their lives through a relationship to thought" (p.134).For Angus, enlightenment is itself historical, "an intervention into the present situation that draws on the resources of the past for inspiration and guidance" (author's emphasis, p. 36).This overall "project of enlightenment" has historically been central to the university's social function (p.19).Enlightenment, like education, is an ongoing process.The second theme is the university's philosophical heritage.The university, Angus argues, is indebted to a philosophical tradition of self-enlightenment dating from ancient Greece.Corporate interests and techno-science are challenging this heritage.Angus defines technoscience as "the integration of technology and science through the model of cybernetics" (p.146), a system in which information is shaped by automation, virtualization, and delocalization.This system breaks knowledge down into little more than bits of information.This organization of information into individual units creates a "network society" that is contrary to the holistic
