This book reinvigorates the philosophical treatment of the nature, purpose, and meaning of thought in today’s universities. All three parts, in their own ways, debate the notion of thought in higher education and the university as a thinking form of being.

“Barnett and Bengtsen make a valuable contribution to the development of a sustained philosophical approach to the study of higher education. … The Thinking University examines thought in a manner that opens up imaginative and practical new possibilities for the future of higher education. … The Thinking University nonetheless represents a significant achievement in bringing together a host of international scholars to collectively envision preferred futures for the university, understood here as a fundamentally thoughtful and ever-evolving institution.” (Sheena Hyland, London Review of Education, Vol. 17 (3), 2019)
