The Rise of Universities - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

The Rise of Universities is a historical survey on the foundation and progress of high education, whose origins can be traced to medieval times. Exploring the medieval universities, the author divided the book in three parts: "The Earliest Universities," "The Medieval Professor," and "The Medieval Student." The author starts with the question of the origin of modern university finding its roots in Medieval Europe. He then traces the humble beginnings of these early institutions with their itinerant professors and their rowdy students. Tracing the origin of an institution, the author finds the origin of Europe as a concept or as an idea, the precursor of modernism, democracy and human rights. This book reminds us that  the university has not only been a crucible fostering intellectual inquiry and creativity, but continues after eight hundred years to be a center of teaching and learning.
