RT Book, Section T1 A dialogue between Enlightenment liberals and neoliberal elites on the idea of the university (based upon a real story) A1 Pedro CaraƱana, Joan A2 Abraham-Amanoiel, Alejandro A2 Freedman, Des A2 Khiabany, Gholam A2 Nash, Kate A2 Petley, Julian AB From the quest for truth to the search for obedience and docility, the depictions of higher education vary according to the priorities underlying your particular idea of the university. What follows is an exercise in sociological imagination in which those leading the reform of universities in Europe today enter into a dialogue with Enlightenment thinkers of education. This fictional conversation is based on the actual words and ideas of the respective actors and takes place in the context of the current ambitious plans for the advancement of a European Higher Education Area (EHEA).
