Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a fresh look at the vital role universities played in the Middle Ages. It explores how Oxford University grew to prominence in the 12th century as a center of philosophical inquiry and learning, and the remarkable impact this had on English history. The book emphasizes the difference between the medieval university, which focused on dialectic methods of thought and confined instruction to the clergy, and the modern concept of higher education. The medieval university, according to the author, was influential in the development of English political systems, including the emergence of Parliament. The book argues that the modern university can re-establish its value and relevancy by adopting elements of the medieval approach, such as a focus on general study and the integration of tutors into student life, thereby encouraging independent and critical thinking.
