Description

The contemporary university as a place to discover self-knowledge and meaning is an idea worth exploring. In "Undeclared", Chris Higgins challenges conventional practices in higher education, asking how far we've strayed from our ideals. This thought-provoking book offers a series of essays that examine the role of colleges in supporting personal growth and the pursuit of purpose. Higgins critiques the corporate multiversity and seeks to reclaim a formative mission for higher education. He explores diverse philosophical engagements and considers what it means to be a public university, highlighting the need for vocation and self-discovery. By clearing a path from received ideas, Higgins assembles resources to expand the contemporary educational imagination. Through grounded philosophical discussions, "Undeclared" presents an alternative vision of college as a place where students can form whole persons striving to lead lives of meaning and purpose.
