Description
The medieval university has left an enduring legacy in modern institutions. Emerging from concerns of the church and state in 12th-century Western Europe, universities have evolved into fixtures that require ongoing renovation to adapt to changing circumstances. Despite their static nature, universities continue to face new challenges, prompting a re-examination of their origins and continuities with medieval institutions. This book explores the role of the university in society, tracing its development over nearly a millennium and considering how it has instantiated itself in response to shifting societal values. The modern university's connection to its medieval roots offers both cause for hope and concern, highlighting the need to ponder the institution's evolution and its relevance in contemporary times.
