The Loss of the University
We are pleased to present our fall Trinity Forum Reading on “The Loss of the University” featuring the works of Wendell Berry and Jacques Maritain, insightfully introduced by Shirley Hoogstra.
Where higher education once aimed to unify diverse fields of knowledge and disciplines to cultivate fully developed human beings, the increasing separation of the disciplines, rise of job and technical training, growing campus politicization, and loss of confidence in the humanities has transformed the very idea of the university. With both incisiveness and hope, Berry and Maritain offer a different path – one that sees and educates the whole person – not just for a lucrative career, but for a good life.
