Schwehn sees an urgent need for a change in orientation and calls for a "spiritually grounded education in and for thoughtfulness." The reforms he endorses would replace individualistic behavior, the "doing my own work" syndrome derived from the Enlightenment, with a communitarian ethic grounded in Judeo-Christian spirituality. Schwehn critiques philosophies of higher education he considers misguided, from Weber and Henry Adams to Derek Bok, Allan Bloom, and William G. Perry Jr. He draws out valid insights, always showing the theological underpinnings of the so-called secular thinkers.Oxford scholarship online.College teachersUnited StatesIntellectual lifeUniversities and collegesUnited StatesReligionCollege teachingUnited StatesPhilosophyEducation, HigherAims and objectivesUnited StatesCollege teachersIntellectual life.Universities and collegesReligion.College teachingPhilosophy.Education, HigherAims and objectives378.12Schwehn Mark R.1945-1551881StDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910791598303321Exiles from Eden3811582UNINA
