THE HIGHER LEARNING IN AMERICA

Book ID/图书代码： 13149014B72169

English Summary/英文概要： Perhaps the pivotal book in the reform of higher education in the United States, Robert M. Hutchins’ classic is once again available, with a brilliant personal and professional appreciation by Harry S. Ashmore. When it was published in 1936 The Higher Learning in America brought into focus the root causes of the controversies that still beset the nation’s educational system. Hutchins began tenure as a university president by declaring that the learning available in even the most prestigious universities was grossly defi cient. The curricular reforms and administrative reorganization he undertook at Chicago are set forth in this volume, along with the philosophical arguments he worked out to explicate and defend his views.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在美国，或许高等教育改革过程中最为核心的一书便是这本来自于罗伯特•M•哈金斯的经典著作，如今本书已获得再版，并由睿智且饱受赞誉的专家教授哈利•S•阿斯摩尔为其撰写序言。《美国式高等教育》于1963年首次出版发行便聚焦了一直以来困扰着美国国家教育体系的一系列争议产生的原因。哈金斯开始于大学执教之初便宣称：即便是最具殊荣的大学环境，所能学习到的知识都是极为不足和匮乏的。在本书中，他将列举此前在芝加哥所进行的课程改革和管理重组的案例，并将提及自己一直为阐述和支持自身观点所提出的理论探讨。（DC）

Awards/获奖情况：“哈金斯博士的书作中总是充满了各种有关于学习、挑战以及目的的材料。他的书籍代表着摇摆在实际和理论之间的学术，不仅仅关于教育，更有关于美好生活的概念。”---《纽约时报》

“几乎很难有人能够像芝加哥大学的哈金斯院长一样，能用短短100余页便阐述清楚某一个课题类别，尤其是在这样一本简洁而又不乏洞见的书籍中如此阐述教育。他不仅仅是在四篇文章中探讨了对于当代美国教育的批评意见，同时他还假设了倘若自己拥有足够的权力将会实施何种教育模式。”-----Books

“Dr. Hutchins’ pages are packed with the stuff of study and challenge and purpose. His book represents the swing of the pendulum away from the practical and material toward the intellectual, not only in education, but in the conception of the good life.”–New York Times

“Few men have said as much about any subject in a hundred pages as President Hutchins of the University of Chicago has said about education in this brief and brilliant book. Into four lectures he has packed not only a criticism of education in contemporary America but a description of education which he would put in its place if he had the power.”–Books --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
