PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE OF UNIVERSITIES
Agnes Heller
Heller voices her pessimistic view on the decline of the university system worldwide. Starting from the definition of the term “Bildung” by Hegel, she gives a brief outline of the history of higher education through the centuries, and shows how class divisions are still an important factor in modern universities. The ever-increasing role of bureaucracy has also a negative impact on the quality of teaching and learning, undermining creativity and the development of talents.
