The looming crisis in higher education appears to be a matter of soaring costs and crushing student debt, but the problem is actually much deeper. It is a crisis of soul; a question of the very purpose of learning and the type of people that our educational system produces. Today, in the age of academic hyper-specialization and professional knowledge, the moral and spiritual purposes of learning have been eclipsed by a shallow view of career and success. On Education, Formation, Citizenship, and the Lost Purpose of Learning turns to the influential figure Augustine of Hippo to explore how he saved the liberal arts at the end of the Roman Empire and how his inspiring vision can do the same for higher education today. It offers a roadmap for reviving the soul of education - presenting concrete ways that the intellectual practices and economic enterprise of learning can lead once more to a fulfilled life of knowing God and loving others. 600 00 $a Augustine, $c of Hippo, Saint, $d 354-430. $0 https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80126290 600 07 $a Augustine, $c of Hippo, Saint, $d 354-430. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00061554 650 0 $a Education (Christian theology) $0 https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85041088 650 0 $a Education, Humanistic. $0 https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85041070 650 0 $a Education, Higher $x Philosophy. $0 https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008102769 650 7 $a Education (Christian theology) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902828 650 7 $a Education, Higher $x Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00903083 650 7 $a Education, Humanistic. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00903134 776 08 $i Online version: $a Clair, Joseph Allan, 1980- $t On education, formation, citizenship and the lost purpose of learning. $d New York : Bloomsbury Academic, 2017 $z 9781501326172 $w (DLC) 2017039087 830 0 $a Reading Augustine. $0 https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2018032207 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20231004011700.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6689BAC8627B11EE9D8B625031ECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
