| Tóm tắt: | In God, Universities, Philosophy MacIntyre discusses the origin and nature of the Catholic intellectual tradition in universities, as it developed from its medieval roots. He believes that such universities enabled philosophy to be pursued as it should, but that the conditions for such philosophical teaching and research have been lost; hence he asks how they can be recovered. In this paper I examine both the worth and the possibility of such university reform - which would imply radical changes in both the university itself - It is to become a "Thomist-like" institution - and in the society which supports it, and conclude that though the scheme is utopian, it has great value as a "model in heaven" to which attempts to reconstruct the university as no mere professional institute but as a humane, thinking society promoting a more rounded lifestyle can be referred. |
