- catalog abstract ""What are universities for? Should they prepare people for careers, or expand their minds by exposing them to a broad curriculum? The Romantic Idea of a University reveals that this debate is not new, but was fought nearly two hundred years ago in England and Germany. In both countries, the tendency towards pre-professionalism in education was countered by romantic writers who provided their own idea of a university - their own beliefs about why universities exist. While examining the role of romantic thought at universities, this book tells the stories of the personalities involved in the process. We encounter an intense Fichte, a devout Wesley and a thoughtful Coleridge. The book also describes how their beliefs helped shape the destiny of universities in both countries and how these voices of long ago speak to an age still asking why our society has universities."--Jacket.".
