商品描述

This book theorises the public university as a real utopia, drawing upon the work of the American sociologist Erik Olin Wright. The book explores institutional democracy, academic freedom and the curriculum as the real utopian 'constituents' of the public university. In doing so, the author puts forward an argument for the redevelopment of public universities, seeking to do justice to both a radical vision and practical feasibility. This imaginative reconstruction of the university advances debate in the sociology and philosophy of higher education.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書將公立大學理論化為一個真實的烏托邦,並借鑒美國社會學家埃里克·奧林·萊特的工作。該書探討了制度民主、學術自由和課程作為公立大學真實烏托邦的「要素」。在此過程中,作者提出了重新發展公立大學的論點,既追求激進的願景,又考慮實際可行性。這種對大學的想像性重建推進了高等教育社會學和哲學的辯論。
