174 pages : 24 cm. In this book, philosopher Harry Brighouse and Spencer Foundation president Michael McPherson bring together leading philosophers to think about some of the most fundamental questions that higher education faces. Looking beyond the din of arguments over how universities should be finances, how they should be run, and what their contributions to the economy are, the contributors to this volume set their sights on higher issues: ones of moral and political value. The result is an accessible clarification of the crucial concepts and goals we so often skip over - even as they underlie our educational policies and practices. -- Provided by publisher Introduction: problems of morality and justice in higher education / Harry Brighouse and Michael McPherson What makes a university education worthwhile? / Amy Gutman Defending the humanities in a liberal society / Christopher Bertram Academic friendship / Paul Weithman Autonomy as intellectual virtue / Kyla Ebels-Duggan Education and social moral epistemology / Allen Buchanan Righting historical injustice in higher education / Lionel K.
