圖書描述

Perhaps the pivotal book in the reform of higher education in the United States, Robert M. Hutchins' classic is once again available, with a brilliant personal and professional appreciation by Harry S. Ashmore. When it was published in 1936 The Higher Learning in America brought into focus the root causes of the controversies that still beset the nation's educational system. Hutchins began tenure as a university president by declaring that the learning available in even the most prestigious universities was grossly defi cient. The curricular reforms and administrative reorganization he undertook at Chicago are set forth in this volume, along with the philosophical arguments he worked out to explicate and defend his views.

Review

“Dr. Hutchins' pages are packed with the stuff of study and challenge and purpose. His book represents the swing of the pendulum away from the practical and material toward the intellectual, not only in education, but in the conception of the good life.”–New York Times

“Few men have said as much about any subject in a hundred pages as President Hutchins of the University of Chicago has said about education in this brief and brilliant book. Into four lectures he has packed not only a criticism of education in contemporary America but a description of education which he would put in its place if he had the power.”–Books --

著者簡介

Robert Maynard Hutchins

born Jan. 17, 1899, Brooklyn, N.Y., U.S.

died May 14, 1977, Santa Barbara, Calif.

American educator and university and foundation president, who criticized overspecialization and sought to balance the college curriculum and to maintain the Western intellectual tradition.

After attending Oberlin College in Ohio (1915–17), he served in the ambulance service of the U.S. and Italian armies during World War I. He graduated from Yale University (A.B., 1921) and Yale Law School (LL.B., 1925), where he was named dean in 1927. Two years later, at the age of 30, he became president of the University of Chicago; he remained at Chicago until 1951, the last six years as chancellor. A controversial administrator, Hutchins reorganized the university’s departments for undergraduate and graduate study into four divisions. His Chicago Plan for undergraduates encouraged liberal education at earlier ages and measured achievement by comprehensive examination rather than by classroom time served. He introduced study of the Great Books. At the same time, Hutchins argued about the purposes of higher education, deploring undue emphasis on nonacademic pursuits (Chicago abandoned intercollegiate gridiron football in 1939) and criticizing the tendency toward specialization and vocationalism. After his departure, however, the university abandoned most of his reforms and returned to the educational practices of other major American universities.

Hutchins was active in forming the Committee to Frame a World Constitution (1943–47), led the Commission on Freedom of the Press (1946), and vigorously defended academic freedom, opposing faculty loyalty oaths in the 1950s. After serving as associate director of the Ford Foundation (from 1951), he became president of the Fund for the Republic (1954) and in 1959 founded the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions (Santa Barbara, California) as the fund’s main activity. The Center was an attempt to approach Hutchins’s ideal of “a community of scholars” discussing a wide range of issues—individual freedom, international order, ecological imperatives, the rights of minorities and of women, and the nature of the good life, among others.

From 1943 until his retirement in 1974, Hutchins was chairman of the Board of Editors of Encyclopædia Britannica and a director for Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. He was editor in chief of the 54-volume Great Books of the Western World (1952) and coeditor, from 1961 to 1977, with Mortimer J. Adler, of an annual, The Great Ideas Today.

Hutchins’s views on education and public issues appeared in No Friendly Voice (1936), The Higher Learning in America (1936), Education for Freedom (1943), and others. Later books include The University of Utopia (1953), Some Observations on American Education (1956), and The Learning Society (1968).

其實就是美國大學從英國模式轉型到德國研究性大學模式的時候的一點點反抗。不能給學生太多自由,因為這是對民主的誤解。大環境是錢錢錢,給學生自由就是讓他們去追名逐利。職業學院破壞瞭大學生態,根本沒有培養行業人纔,隻是以一紙文憑設置行業門檻。所以要歸迴阿諾德的那種英國大學式的人文主義傳統,要經典,要為知識而知識,要宣讀牛津誓約,要反戰(是二戰,雖然沒堅持下去)。現在一般人怎麼評判他呢?太極端。
