181: The Idea of the University

from Philosophy Talk Starters · host Philosophy Talk Starters

More at http://philosophytalk.org/shows/idea-university. Is a university a research institute with students, or and educational institution with research around the edges – or something in between? To whom does the university answer – the trustees? The administration? The faculty? The students? Or something more abstract, like knowledge and wisdom? John and Ken examine the very idea of a university with Stanford Provost John Etchemendy.
