Beskrivning
The essays in Paul Ricoeur and the Hope of Higher Education: The Just University discuss diverse ways that Paul Ricoeur’s work provides hopeful insight and necessary provocation that should inform the task and mission of the modern university in the changing landscape of Higher Education. This volume gathers interdisciplinary scholars seeking to reestablish the place of justice as the central function of higher education in the twenty-first century. The contributors represent diverse backgrounds, including teachers, scholars, and administrators from R1 institutions, seminary and divinity schools as well as undergraduate teaching colleges. This collection, edited by Daniel Boscaljon and Jeffrey F. Keuss, offers critical and practical visions for the renewal of higher education. The first part of the book provides an internal examination of the university system and details how Ricoeur’s thinking assists on pragmatics from syllabus design to final exams to daily teaching. The second portion of the book examines the Just University’s role as a social institution within the broader cultural world and looks at how Ricoeur’s description of values informs how the university works relative to religious belief, prisons, and rural poverty.

As the voice of John Henry Newman was to the nineteenth century university, so perhaps Paul Ricoeur will be to the university of our own time. This remarkable collection of essays speaks immediately to the immediate crisis of a world facing a pandemic and potential economic and moral collapse, and within it the role of higher education to sustain human flourishing and humane, ethical, and critical thinking in an age when the liberal arts are in danger of being squeezed from the curriculum. Facing the future in hope requires a rootedness in the philosophical, hermeneutical, and ethical density of Ricoeur’s teaching, and this book, with consummate scholarship, offers a vision to research and education that lies at the very heart of what it is to be fully human in a world where that fundamental element in our society is being threatened. This is a book to be pondered deeply by all teachers and students.
